"One Dark Night" by AOhTay14

Mystical and magical and beautiful: a wave.

But it can drown a full-grown man, and it can drown a babe.

Lightning strikes across the sky; the ocean turrets billow high.

Seas could snatch a lonely man, or sailor without a plan.

The fog, thick on this lonely night, creates a bewitchingly haunting sight.

If a man or woman, lost at sea, could make one wish, could dream one dream,

With all their hearts, they would plea not to be swallowed by the deep.

From the Author

Hello! My name is AOhTay14. I love being creative (writing music, playing instruments, acting, reading, and writing)! My hope is to bring laughter, joy, and wholesome, Christian writing into the world, because I think everyone needs some more of that! One day, I would like to sell my books, but for now, I am challenging myself to explore as many different genres as I can! Thank you for reading my work and supporting me! Keep being creative, friends!
