Seas of Sadness

by Katiemae1977

Minute Poetry Contest Winner 
 
When seas of sadness overflow 
from down below
It fashions waves 
to make us slaves
 
The shores we claim will hold it back 
will often crack 
and test the length 
of human strength 
 
We must not let it drag us down 
or let us drown 
Let faith prevail 
and you shall sail
