The Sinking of the Dwinsponce

by Spife, Saltmarsh

/
1.
(The Dream) Sleeping, below the deck of the ship. In dream I see, the ravaging seas. The rocking of the waves, bashing against the hull Awakens me! In terror, I jolt from my bed, stumbling towards my captain. Pleading, pleading to turn the ship around. The seas are choppy, a storms on the horizon. My captain, he turns to me and asks What proof of this have ye? I’ve sailed this seas for many o’ year, ye of insolence. No storm is on the horizon. Captain I cried, my proof lies in a dream, that touched my mind. Heed my words or you’ve doomed us all. Bite your tongue sailor, lest you cause a mutiny. There be no storms a brewin, this dream stays tween you and me. Captain! A voice from the crows nest cries. A storm is atop us. His mouth agape, the captain sees a wave too tall to be true. The seas are choppy, the storm is here. ( Devouring Waves) All hands on deck ye sailors, this is our ship. This storm will try to take her, give no relent. Brace yourselves for the impact, that might sea. You say this is the ending, I disagree. Crashing, turning, rending, waves of fear. Pushing, pulling, ripping, apart our ship. The waves, they break our cannons, a show of war. They shred our hull, those waves, that wretched pull. Even below the deck, our ship is full. These seas are all consuming, destructive force! Crashing, turning, rending, waves of fear. Pushing, pulling, ripping, apart our ship. No hope, to many holes, the Dwinsponce has lost this tiff. Get to the rowboat, before the waves sink our ship! (Lonely in the Sea) The ship, is no more. I surfaced only a bit ago. Floating in the sea, I see an island. My only hope.

I’m stranded, Washed up on the shore, Stranded, Washed up on the shore. Not knowing if I will ever return! I need to journey on, From this forsaken shore.

I ventured deep, Into the surrounding tree line, And I saw unimaginable things, So much beauty, untouched by humanity. So raw, like honey from the comb, Growth unbridled by anything at all. I couldn’t sleep at all that first night on the island. There were creatures, like nothing seen before, The likes of many that I tried to catalogue. How come, on this island, everything’s brand new. This island, Provides me with rest. Yet even still, Curiosity has not be met. What lies unfound, What mysteries has yet been met. I’ll be the one to find them, I’ll search until my hearts content. This islands mysteries Continuously astound me! At the peak of the mountain, I see it all. The shape of the island, the snaking paths of the rivers. It’s beauty leaves me speechless. And it’s in this moment, a shadow covers me, A shape from above, wings bigger than anything. And a guttural sound cascading down, means only one thing. It could only be a dragon!
