Hi CRNDLSM,

Your meter does feel off and the meanings of some lines seem to struggle to be understood through the rules of rhyme and meter.

as the water rises, covers the shore. this line is trochaic, except the last foot, which is more of an iamb. Maybe restructure as something like "as water inundates the sandy shore". Ofc shores are sandy, please feel free to change that modifier and maybe "inundates" bc it sounds a little too technical to my ears
Homes and less sturdy crafts, as their hope sinks, Meter is a mess here too, refer to the sound of the example in my previous comment please
break in the ocean's unforgiving roar. Meter here is perfect. Nice image too.
Know, a sound mind, will cut the turbulence, Check meter.
and stay afloat, drifting above the waves,
maintaining the course set by circumstance,
seeking a future only courage paves.
Noa needs confuse the company kept, h missing in Noa?
when rationed food would vanish in the night.
What could be done, as you the captain, slept,
and images of land passed out of sight?
No wonder, when you got there, you got drunk.
No wonder you wish you had stayed, and  sunk.
I'll try to revisit with something more in depth about the actual meanings and images rather than technicalities.

Best of luck, Alex
