Storm

You are the light,

The setting sun

On the outer banks,

The wind that sways

The long beach grass,

Constant beat

Of rope on mast.

 

You are the wind,

The ocean breeze at

Morning tide,

Wondrous whispers

Red and gold,

Vibrant light

Of joys untold.

 

You are the storm,

Head held back and

Arms outstretched,

Rhythmic rain and

Distant dreams,

Voices lost in

Wild extremes;

 

The hope and dream

The perfect storm,

 

The ship’s at sea,

The breaking dawn.
