Violent, relentless, murderous destroyer. You sweep so many prisoners into your wrath. Yet you shimmer and rock and sway us to sleep. You destroy all that rests in your path. But our secrets you keep. When angered, we are swallowed by your wake. When calm, you can lull any heartache. How tempermental you can be-- I am left in awe of your beauty. Divine, mysterious, majestic lover--the sea.
