The Ocean Storm

rrodriguez

The Ocean Storm

The heaving ocean bellows

rages, moans, swears, groans

the moon is hiding scared

as it hears the deathly tones

 

In its ominous vastness

Its wailing cry creates

Erratic metronomic waves

With deep music roaring

 

Waves lap the sandy beach

the dark night smell of brine

the night gathers its tatters

and the sky starts to whine

 

Waters tumbling toward the abyss

lighting crashing, reaping open

the heaven’s dark veil

revealing timeless eternity  

 

Forging its own sea-song

The ocean stronger, stronger

it roars; tosses in a drunken stupor

as it curses the night away
