Help me out Kora.

Help me out Kora.
Cruel winds blow
Lonely birds
Over treacherous seas
Too exhausted for flight
Too afraid to stop
Drowning is not an option
To be considered
As white tops
Reach up
Frothing with anger
Blindly abusing strangers
Broken fingers
Slap against a weatherboard sky
Nothing is as it seems
Rain teems
The air seethes
An eclectic hum
Swarming bees
Bristling with the stink
Of sadness
The death Of a flower
The loss in goodbye
Echoed in a peel of thunder
Perhaps drowning is a default
Feathers spiral
Wing tips touch in supplication
As the wind cries
Its own tears
Nobody knows
Which way to turn
For the storm is no friend
Of mine
And the ocean
Is a torment
Of unforgiving
