The Angry Sea

The ocean is angry
Its dark waters churn
The blackened sky
Lightening cuts across
A flash of hot white light
Inside she’s safe
Awaiting his return
Praying he’ll be back
Praying he’ll be safe
This sturdy house he built
Overlooks the unforgiving sea
She climbs into their bed
They barely had a chance to turn down the sheets
When he was called away
Now curled beneath the blankets
She clutches her crucifix
She prays for his return
She prays for his safety
For many days she waits
Listening for the news
Hope in her heart
Rosary in her hands
She cooks her evening meal
And eats alone again
Sits in front of the fireplace
Warmth emanates from the flames
She longs for his warmth
Praying he’ll be back
Praying he’ll be safe
The news comes back today
The ship did not come to port
He is dead
She cries out in agony
But they will meet again too soon
The sun has started to set
She walks out into the evening glow
She tastes the salt in the air
She looks back at the house he built
That overlooks the sea
She steps to the edge
Jumps to the rocks below
Praying they’ll meet again
Praying for her mortal soul

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
