Uncle Ivan

Waves crashing down sing the sound of his demise
Salty waters rise, his eyes read the end
Suddenly he finds himself sat on the head
Of a giant squid-like beast
«Hey, you, what are doing sailing these waters?
Haven’t seen your kind around for years»
The young man responds
«If you’re gonna eat me, no need to be friendly
I’m so weak, it won’t take me long to break»
Don’t stray your path, what you’re searching for will come
There’s no need to run, it’s fine to wait
Lift your head, all the birds are flying home
Now you’re not alone, follow their lead, save your energy
