THE OCEAN ROARS IN FURY

The ocean roars in fury

as it washes away intruders.

No boats to drift on its water.

No swimmers to ride the waves.

Strong arms lift in frustration.

Waves beat against the rocks.

Birds flee.

The sun hides.

We wait.

Will we be worthy?

Is mankind ever worthy?

Will the waters recede?

The answer lies in the ocean’s depths.

THE OCEAN ROARS IN FURY

The ocean roars in fury.
As it washes away any intruders
from its gilded surface.
No boats to drift in its waters.
No swimmers to play in its waves.
Its anger is against all who
dare to enter its domain.
It lifts its arms in frustration.
It directs its violence against its shores.
No beach goers to lie in the sun.
All is dark.
All is quiet.
We must watch and wait.
Before we are allowed entry
into its vast domain.
Will we be worthy?
Is mankind ever worthy?
Will its waters recede?
The decision lies in the depths
of the deep ocean.
