The seagulls search for shelter
Atop the cliff face they circle up high
As the distant sound of thunder
And flashes of lightning illuminate the sky

How treacherous and rough is the water
Changing from turquoise to a stormy grey
Nobody can be sighted at the beach
On this cold unforgiving day

The sea is so full of anger
So much respect is needed here
As the sailors struggle with their boats
Finding it so difficult to steer

Far off into the horizon
There seems no distinguishing sky from sea
The colors are identical
That's how it looks to me

By tomorrow the storm will be over
Long gone will be the driving rain
The heavens once again will become clearer
As the warmth of the sun shines again

The sea in fury is a powerful force to reckon with.

Very well done ... I felt the movement !

Hi sweetie.

Now this is the kind of poem that I can relate to. As you know, I LOVE the ocean! I've a painting hanging in the bedroom I painted many years ago of a sailboat in a gale. Thanks for sharing this with us.

There is more depth to the heart than the human mind can comprehend and it only has boundaries when we choose to fence it in.
