Poem: Ocean Waves

 

Ocean Waves

 

each crest urgent,

reaching up

from the brute below,

 

and yet they cannot break

the churning froth-ribbed

fence.

 

as long as the sea has hackles,

the force march 

of snarls and savage rants 


toils on--


spanning the days,

the moods,

below the mountainous continents,

 

only to die,

tasting the hem of freedom

with a whispery lisp.

 


======================















The cruelty of this planet, this universe, is as unreckonable as its beauty and gifts.  Those that dare to face this will suffer.  And perhaps benefit.
