Simple Poetry

A Scene of Pain

A scream of unrelentless death,

Echoed precipitatingly across sea waves,

A head of wet hair collapsed to it,

Bobbed precariously in the channels.

I stood there, not knowing what to do,

But caring, yet, paralyzed watching,

Another cry rushed past my ears,

I gasped, as tears unyeilding slid over my cheeks.

Then the head was swept under,

By an unseeing powerful force,

Tears streamed painfully, as I now waded,

Into the lapping waves.

I stopped,

Knee high in the cold, dark swishing waters,

Only there to watch..

The terror stricken faces of the ones I loved;

Swallowed into this cold abyss..

I did nothing, but cry,

All the pain I felt, revealed in this one scene,

The scene of terror..

A scene of pain.
