To soar amid wisps of clouds
almost nudging a rainbow.

To descend a winding mountain road,
catching a glimpse of Nidri Harbour,
silvery in the afternoon heat

A small flotilla decked in brightly
coloured rigging.

To set sail into Teardrop Bay,
stare gobsmacked as dolphins
burst through the waves,

phantom like as the glistening sun
catches the arc of sleak bodies
plunging back to the deep
leaving barely a ripple

To watch in despair the fury of nature
as she takes her revenge.
Crashing, boiling waves,
screeching winds,

pay scant attention
to the plunderers of the deep
who may never reach shore.

Shaking the earth, felling trees,
dismantling all around her,
venting her anger at our wanton
destruction of her very core,

Gradually cooling her tempestuous frenzy,
displaying, as would a peacock,
all her finest bounties,
tugging our conscience.

Maggie:  A really impressive poem and with graphic images! I love the sea, as well as mountains and this is a great mix of both.
