Titanic

Surfing channels
Sipping cordials
Goldfish pretzels
Ocean liner
TV pipe dreams
Quartet playing
Liner sinking
Tastebuds yearning
Lifeboats flailing
In the darkness
Hundreds drowning
As I'm thinking
North Atlantic
Prayers floating
Floating upward
Drenched in sorrow
Have we made it?
Am I waking?
Hold fast children
Unforgotten
Hist'ry's waiting
All must tumble
Frozen lips now
Take a deep breath
Let no anchors
Pull us backward
No erasing
No repenting
Sleep in kindness
Sleep in kindness
Sleep in kindness
Sleep in kindness
