A Village Fisher Man

It is a village surrounded by sea
with drizzles and chill air
some huts facing the sea
to welcome the captain from the task

he is thirty by thoughts
and by his arms and shoulders
he is strong and dare to face:
the storms and mighty waves

he is a man of hard work with smile
he never tires by his work at sea
sharks and whales are his sweet enemies
that may give wounds and money at work
in one storm night
he mingled his life with sea
cause of the mighty waves
his hut and people:
are waiting to welcome his arrival

Thanx, Ravi!

Your style adds frosting to this sweetly written cake.

Yours,
Grandpa

PS: The ending comes stealthily, as if from a gentle stalker. Its lack of introduction makes it even more powerful than it would be otherwise. Very nice.
