[The Shipwreck – J.M.W Turner]
Wreckage
Your storms churned
Tossed the ship of my life
To lie wrecked
On the rocks of your reef.
Your island, distant
Bare and unfriendly
Unredeemed by human habitation
Just the sea-teased flotsam.
Your waves rolled
And threw me down
To claw at the deserted sands
On your beach of abandoned hope.
Tossed the ship of my life
To lie wrecked
On the rocks of your reef.
Your island, distant
Bare and unfriendly
Unredeemed by human habitation
Just the sea-teased flotsam.
Your waves rolled
And threw me down
To claw at the deserted sands
On your beach of abandoned hope.
