\"Stunned
Stunned by that loud and dreadful sound,\nWhich sky and ocean smote, \nLike one that hath been seven days drowned My body lay afloat; \nBut swift as dreams, myself I found \nWithin the pilot’s boat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Upon

\"Let
Let me in, the voice cried softly\nFrom outside the wooden door\nScattered remnants of the ship\ncould be seen in the distance\nBlood stained the icy wall of the shore\nI’m the only one left\nThe storm took them all\nHe managed as he tried to stand\nThe tears ran down his face\nPlease I’m old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"When
When he woke\nThere was no trace of the ship\nOnly the dawn was left behind by the storm\nHe felt the creaking of the stairs beneath him\nThat rose from the sea to the door\nThere was a sound at the window then\nThe captain turned\nhis breath was still\nSlowly, he turned<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From behind the edge of the windowsill\nThere appeared the delicate hand of a child\nHis face, flushed and timid\nHe stared at the captain through frightened eyes\nThe captain reach for something to hold on to\n“Help me,” he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet\nThe boy’s face went pale\nHe recognized the sound<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Lost
Lost in the doorstep\nof the empty house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
