As we sailed along the Mediterranean seas in the twilight of a peaceful eve,
We relished the gentle sensation of the winds as they rushed by, sweeping through our scalps and seeping freshness into our pores,
We relaxed on the deck of our vessel, lay on the stern, stood on the bow, admiring the wonders of nature in the pellucid waters, the vegetation stretch along the sides of the seas, completely caught up in nature's abundance, and drawn from the realities of the acquatic body,
Then suddenly, like a flood from the heavens in all intensity, the winds rose, the currents surged, the thunders roared, the lightning through the dark skies pierced, the rains poured, and our vessel trembled,
Tossed to and fro by this restless act of nature, we lost our compass, and the power to control the situation, from our hands slipped,
As we in utter frustration ran helter-skelter, striving to halt this precarious moment, our hearts fluttering, our blood boiling, and our bones quivering in apprehension,
We continued helplessly, tip-toed on the edge of a precipice, heading for a shipwreck,
The seas seemed to have been infuriated by our complacency, the currents by our withdrawal from full alert, and the waves by our continuous giggles, cackles, and chuckles,
As we battle this ordeal, in a manner of abruptness, to worsen the complications, we were launched into a fleeting moment of violent movements, drowning us into unconsciousness,
Then we woke to an island of uncertainty, surrounded by strange hills and trees of unknown identities, to wander and plod the woods of danger, till help comes.
