The Storm at Sea
By Safa Mahmood
It went adrift, adrift, adrift
unbridled and faithful to God
against our single wish
It went up and under
unafraid against the current
bold beneath the thunder
It went sloshing and splashing
along with zephyr whistles
and chaos came crashing
It went to a world unknown
four hearts wishing for the shore
as our bodies far away from home
