Baptism

[alatos]

Edit 1: (thank you, trueenigma. I had thought that the wording sounded weak, but i just wanted to get my thoughts down (it was late at night)

The sun that set, and plunged ablaze into
the vast and resolutely endless blue,
lit up the fluid miles to my west,
as dusk took form, in one last show of light
that fractured off into the coming night,
and left a sinking feeling in my chest.
The breezes hushed, and silently inhaled.
The stars were dark; the moon was strangely veiled…
the ocean seemed a seamless, empty pit.
And there, beneath the restless clouds, I prayed.
In barely mustered words, my soul afraid
of what it knew it must at last admit,
I whispered psalms within my capsized boat.
The morning found me baptized and afloat.
