Freshness Returns...

After a long stretch of rain and storm..

When the sun shines high and clears the dark clouds..

The happiness returns to a sinking mariner..

Who was ready to read his final vows.

Holding on to a plank ,the last remains of his ship..

Being pounded by the waves and crushed to a pulp..

Looking high in the heavens as the lightning tears the sky..

Trying to figure what he did to deserved such a smite.

Pretty sure of his demise his life started to flash..

Knowing he did everything for the one but still met his match..

Waiting for the dark waters to finally engulf him..

And hoping to meet the maker to finally question him.

But the one who was watching had some different plans...

After the gruesome night ,the day befalls

And the same dark waters sparked like diamonds

The same pounding waves patted his back..

The new found faith and the new found fate..

Were refreshing but a little confusing..

Taking some time to settle in his thoughts..

he finally found the reason for his miracle.

His test was over and he had survived..

The dusk of darkness was now the dawn of light..

His eyes couldn't believe and he stood there in awe..

A sandy shore and palm trees were what he saw...
