Ocean Thunder

Warning of the storm

As a blustery storm approached us

Soon we came into our senses

We lost our bearings hopelessly

Far away and lost at sea

Making haste to a mystic Island

In our minds we hoped was real

   The Storm

Ominous the storm did beat us

Friendly natives did invite us           

And we hailed the god of thunder

Coercive force could not asunder

To be sure this hallowed ground

We ride the storm without a sound

The Eye

The sun shone briefly through the haze

The eye surreal does brightly amaze

A moment’s refuge from the fury

The storm must rage again once more

Lashing out against our nature

Thor reminds us of his temper

Waves as high as mountains render

Hapless ships into the thunder

Wind relentless is the message

We succumb to stronger powers

And finally as the force allows

The squall has past and we go on

                                                                            Return of the storm

Ominous the storm did beat us

Friendly natives did invite us           

And we hailed the god of thunder

Coercive force could not asunder

To be sure this hallowed ground

We ride the storm without a sound

                                                                       The Passing of the Storm

We sail into the unknown Darkness

Intuition only guides us

But now beneath the ocean waves

A city glows unto the maze

What endless mysteries lie below

Timeless history we can know

Below the surface of the sea

A city of Glass presented me

As we watched above the water

Vessels came and danced on Mars

Beyond the grasp of mortal men

Into the heavens and back again

Time and again the message is clear

We come from afar

And now we are here
