After The Storm

Black clouds roll across a tossing sea,

Crags of energy, bolting blue to green.

Rumbling thunder shaking this very ground,

Sending poetic musings dancing to the sound.

The calm before the storm, the storm within the calm

With the sand, and sea relinquishing my all

 To the brilliant fury of nature’s sweet balm.

Oh red now are my whispers,

with yellow dimples for my sighs,

ripe now am I with the unrequited joy

 brought forth from these storm laden skies.

Oh happy is he…whose heart is held by the sea.

How happy I am…that this be me.
