Your life is a boat
Wandering the desolate seas.
Sunshine
Stillness
But then nothing.
Until the heavens open.
Lightning strikes
Thunder cracks.
The seas waves grow and grow
Hitting your mast,
What guides you
pulling you on your right path.
From beneath
In the dark deep waters
Lurks a demon.
A demon so big
It will swallow you whole.
Sink you
until your last dying breath.
The Kraken
Your worst enemy.
It will wrap its deadly tentacles around you.
Squeeze away your pleading scream.
The Kraken?
It's your life's worst enemy.
Death.
Wandering the desolate seas.
Sunshine
Stillness
But then nothing.
Until the heavens open.
Lightning strikes
Thunder cracks.
The seas waves grow and grow
Hitting your mast,
What guides you
pulling you on your right path.
From beneath
In the dark deep waters
Lurks a demon.
A demon so big
It will swallow you whole.
Sink you
until your last dying breath.
The Kraken
Your worst enemy.
It will wrap its deadly tentacles around you.
Squeeze away your pleading scream.
The Kraken?
It's your life's worst enemy.
Death.

Good poem, but saying death is life's enemy doesn't seem right to me. I mean, for example some animals kill for survival and that means death is needed for life. Besides life can be a living hell anyway.
