Ice cracks,
ridge breaks,
water ripples,
kayak floats
and I keep on paddling.

Cloud looming,
light waning,
gods rumbling,
kayak bucks
and I keep on paddling.

Storm breaks,
rain tumbles,
white lightning,
kayak flails
and I must keep on paddling.

Wave rising,
water churning,
whirpool forming,
kayak quakes,
please can I just keep paddling.
