Sea Change

Do you have a sea within you

Where awesome barnacled monsters

And fragile fish in shiny crimson vests

Scatter in the sea grass as they meet

 

A swarm of wrasse streaming through

Like muted skylarks chasing wind

On a swathe of gaudy pink corals and

Upon fields of somber olive kelp

 

Oh what a powerful will lie in wait

In the calm waters of the deep

Only the undulation of the sea grass

Give hint to the burgeoning force

 

Oft times, restless waves with billowing roar

Swell up to heave foamy white crests

To crash against the stolid gray cliffs

Challenging steadfast promontories

 

But the land will always frustrate the dare

The sea falls back deeper into its abysmal depths

Then, gathering strength, it rises again

Rallying waves to get back at a startled shore
