The Angry Sea

The Angry Sea
Linn Barnes
An angry sea
Thrashed mercilessly
The tidal remains of
Another day in the foaming surf
The sky burst from
Bundling clouds above
The wind howled as
Seabirds attacked the waves
Lightning murdered the shore
Exploding the boiling sea
In waves of roaring thunder
In bolts of dying energy
And then it was over
The evening sun appeared
Low in the western sky
The storm raging out to sea
Leaving only blackened sky
Thunder and retreating whitecaps
Storm shadows fleeing east
Lightning hammering distant waves
