Whispers of the Deep
#WritcoPoemPrompt28
She floats like a dream,
Before she sinks under,
Carrying in her folds,
The dying cries of the soldiers...

She floats like a dream, a fragile mirage,
A vessel of hope, on an endless voyage.
But beneath her beauty, a sorrow lies,
As she carries the echoes of battles and cries.

In her folds, she holds the weight of despair,
The haunting echoes of soldiers who dared.
Their dreams and aspirations, now lost at sea,
Their sacrifice a reminder of the cost to be free.

With each gentle sway, she carries their pain,
Their stories etched in her waves, like an eternal stain.
She weeps for the fallen, the brave and the true,
Their spirits forever bound to the ocean's blue.

But amidst the sorrow, a glimmer of light,
A beacon of hope, shining through the night.
For in their sacrifice, a legacy is born,
A reminder to cherish the freedom they've sworn.

So let us remember, as she sinks under,
The soldiers who fought, their courage a thunder.
Their memory lives on, in the depths below,
As we honor their sacrifice, and let their stories flow.
