Pirate Ship On the Horizon

Things were going so well
Warm summer days
    of love , friendship and peace
It seemed that they would
     go on forever
        But what's that 
I see in the distance?
     It's a pirate ship - 
the skull and crossbones 
on it's flag
    Hearts beat 
a little faster
    "the dreadful has 
already happened"
    The pirate ship
is coming closer
    Breathe in deeply 
    Let's hope it's not
for the last time
    While the waves gently
lap against the shore
    We learn once more
    the meaning of fear
Let us pray now!
Let us not forsake hope!
Sinister eyes peer out 
at us
     as we seek refuge
From these dark masters 
      of the deep
