Part of my attempts to combine many things - have done a bit of research - into an epic poem like Gilgamesh.

Lifting, they shoved them, rafts containing five strong,

Rocking, the makeshift dropped into the deep,

Man and woman, they pushed and they pulled,

On planks of wide-wood, against the seas,

Fleeing the land of Yamm.

Five-and-sixty they set adrift, with great Solaris blazing,

To fight the Wild Waters.

Day they rested, covered in beast-skins,

Night they rowed, paddled and drove,

Against the rage of the sea.

One night, a cloud, and three and nine,

Darkness arrived ahead of moon-time,

Yamm's curse obvious, the waves shifted,

Ripping, rising, tearing about,

Blackest ocean, Ebony sea,

It began to spell murder for rafts many.

Women screamed, "Our families!

Save them, they may yet live"

Anat, the leadress, "Save yourselves,

And live for them."

So they passed the cloud-demons,

Day they rested, covered in beast-skins,

Night they rowed, paddled and drove,

Against the rage of the sea.

One day was clear, searingly so,

"Oh Spirits, we shall surely die,

Our homes being ruined,

Our fathers at war,

Surely it is our doom we seek for"

So the young men exclaimed,

Anat replied;

"Fear not! This too will pass,

For see, the land and times of old lay behind,

Each moment is a victory -

We rewrite our fates,

We honor the fates of our friends,

We fight Spirit and Enemy alike,

We, the people of Atlas Hadad, survive

With terrors powerless to stop us."
