The wind's embrace

I was charmed by the wind’s embrace

as it blew wildly against my icy face

and I cheered happily at its might

as it pushed the sail in hapless plight.

The wind was friendly at the start

as I took leave at the shore’s depart,

but it got ominous and menacing

as waves became high and threatening.

The wind blew all day and into the night

as the boat and I put up a courageous fight

but soon the wild waters threw us down

as the waters closed over keel and crown.
