Locked in icy waters - A Quadrille

                                                                                                      Attribution: Tomasz
Locked in icy waters in the
shimmering light a lone sailing
ship lost in its bid.

Praying for a guardian of angels
to extend its welcomed
presence.

To provide some semblance
of protection and companionship
to lost souls clamoring for some
kind of divine help
