Sailor

I've been through the roughest waters 

I've sailed the seven seas 

I have been to dangerous shores 

Remote islands not even with trees 

Everyone fears me 

I'm the bravest on the sea 

So tell me 

Will you hire me?

Bitter Strange Winter

Winter is bare 

No life grows 

Animals hibernate 

Do they come out? 

Who knows? 

Shiver in the cold 

Surrender to the breeze 

But when it turns to ice 

You'll be on your knees 

But look! 

Under the ice, a discovery 

Dead grass and flowers 

And a branch from a tree
