The swelling of the waves

In an ocean that was calm.

Makes my rowing uneasy,

Hoping it will not get worse.

 

I'm a long way from the shore.

Got caught in a moving current.

No one is within my sight

If I should be tossed in the sea.

 

The winds ceased to roar,

And the ocean was becalmed.

Luck was with me this day,

But no longer will I paddle alone.
