Sea Of Storms
The towering wave loomed above, as its foamy fingers lashed outwards crashing into the rocks, down by the bay. The memory of yesterday, staring out to sea lighting bolt a flashing light so bright, bursting into thunder behind the pier. Rolling forth in groaning circles, the halo of a ring around the moon; a night beyond belief my soul in sorrow. Within the gloom though times may change my dreaming that remains on the horizon; hillsides lit with a second noon to rest. Above the foam so slowly disappearing; winds that blow from other memories, piercing a dying wave a hollow sound. Broken seashells washed upon the shore; dark the earth below where nothing grows and no one knows where the tides will go. Fig trees on a whitewashed wall; the man of faith walking on the sea, gazing within my mind of sorrows, Mom old and grey in a wheelchair; Dad died fighting bravely for liberty my soul seeking has set me free. Spirits of power a beautiful sight, racing waves before the wind, running home to my dear mom. Begging her forgiveness my sea of storms, in fear of failure.
