Night Shift

Out in the dark it throbs and glows-
the wild sea that no man knows!
The wind is chill.. the surge, a fright,
and you must sail that sea tonight.
"You shall not sail!".. the breakers roar,
"On many a mile of iron shore,
the waves are livid in their wrath..
for no man knows the ocean path!"
You must not hide from wind or wave;
you must not heed.. the ocean brave-
Your course is set.. your hour known..
but will not front the dark alone.
Your eyes are wild.. your face is pale-
this is no night for ships to sail!
The hungry wind is moaning low..
the storm is up, you shall not go!
'Tis not the moaning wind you hear..
it is a sound more dread and drear,
a voice that calls across the tide..
a voice that will not be denied!
M.O.H.

Yes indeed, you have captured the mood!! I've been on many boats/ships, and this is it to a T...Fast-paced, but very steady flow, and great rhyming that actually does justice to the story.
