Sea Storm

The Great Storm

Sea Storm.

The hand of the great storm
bends the bow of the willow
and whips the sea to foam…
The long stretched waves
drawn as gum along the tongue
are molten in the stride;
they roll their licorice-black
into the stew pot of its eye;
the mist rises 1000 meters high;
the boat rocks and holds its course.

There is an overwhelming sense;
might and unbounded strength
in this wild untamed auditorium.
Spread under imponderable stars
lit by the surround of the moon
commanding the tugging tides;
the churning of its orchestra
demands the gulls to dance
to the lift and rise of rhythm;
yet beyond its deafening...

a voice calls...
