Californian..A night to remember
"The sea always brings amaze to us"
Don't you have seen it at times??
Now..be on the bridge for duty..
The scene is a bit dull in shine..

& It's here..on deck of known renown
The Leyland Built..steamer of history
Right here in the middle of Atlantic..
Californian..The old reliable registry..

A clear view of the stars & black..
Such dark is all around to see
The breeze is fairly mild & cool..
Chilled weather..like winter in feel..

For the steamer has stopped engine..
All around icebergs floating in sheets..
To navigate safely..needs morning time
So a night stationary by captain indeed

With tranquility of no sound & peace..
A duty with smooth & calm in sigh
With a sip of coffee... as to take
Suddenly...glares of rocket fired in sky

Why would somebody do here in ocean??
A some kind of a signal in sailor's call..
Report it to..captain..we need to know
& More rockets seen flying & fall..

With nothing to be done & there still
& Crew of Californian..not ready to find
The night gone & new morning Ocean..
Morse code operator..after sleep on time

Soon to know & loads of news in spill..
"Sir..A ship has sunk close to our field"
The great ocean liner..was around here
Close..that we saw but actually missed
