(The Wolf Boy’s part)

Took a boat into the Ocean,
but ended swept up in a storm.
The vessel tumbled while in motion,
now I’m lost and all forlorn.
Riding on the waves,
as they rhythmically crash and break.
On a life raft for many days,
unable to make but one mistake.
~
The turquoise seas,
and the ocean breeze-
almost make me feel at ease.
But, the salt dries out my skin,
and I’m circled by an ominous fin.
~
Out at sea for a whole week,
without, but one fish to eat.
Running out of saltless water,
and the sun burns even hotter.
Yet out there in the distance,
I see some land at hand!
and I flow towards the beach,
with a strong tides assistance.

Overwhelmed at the sight of land…
a fleck of light in the dark…
To rest my feet upon the sand…
the yonder journey, I embark…
~
Braving the feral gale…
Battling the savage waves…
Stalwartly, I sail…
to escape the sea’s vicious embrace…
~
Soul throbbing and heart-pounding, 
with rapture abound…
As I finally touch the shore and
crumble to the ground…
~
I feel the warm breeze, stand firm and
the new journey, I begin…
With the remnants of the sea
still latching to my skin…
And the ghastly ordeal engraved
forever on my conscience…
