Lost at Sea

There is a certain point when lost at sea,
that your mind can no longer recover from.
Even if your body survives with enough
water and food, even if you don't bake away
from the sun, it is the mind that rots
away... Just last week I saw it first hand,
a drifter far from land.  He rode a well
built raft that looked to have been at sea
for many months.  We stopped to give him
a ride back, but he leaped at my crew and
took two of them down before we beat him
off with clubs.  The sea has certain secrets
that cannot be answered... or perhaps mortals
aren't meant to know the question.
