The waves roll high
They try to reach the sky
The wind blows low
It passes under the prow
The gull poised in [mid] flight
Sees the men in fright
It shrieks with delight –
Its feeding chance is bright.
The clouds, in anguish, roar
As the planes over it, soar
They mumble and they growl
As over the lands they prowl.
The fishes in the deep
Over the corals leap
With glassy eyes they wink
As boats capsize and sink
The storm gathers force
And breaks out in wild fury
Nature is its judge
And Nature is its jury
Wrecking everything
That lies in its way
It’s like a vengeful spirit
That none can hold at bay.
Laughing in delight
At the human’s plight
Its force is almost spent
The air, with screams, is rent.
Holding both its sides
It laughs – till they do split
Its screams, to whispers, die
Its passion is now dry.
Sighing with deep content
Though its back is fully bent
Away with the wind it goes
With many curtsies and bows.

I would rather talk about things
Than the people around I know
For then they may talk about things
Rather than talk about me
Since I will value their secrets
And not spill them for all to see :
So keep the gossip you hear
Well within you , friend
For if you open your mouth
You will start an ugly trend –
Then be prepared that people
Will talk about you too
So do not spill their secrets
For you will surely rue.

When someone shares a secret
Do you hide it in your heart
Do you honor the promise given
To always keep it locked ?
If not –
Whose secrets have you betrayed ?
Whose boat have you just rocked ?
Whose confidence have you bartered ?
Hose dignity have you socked ??
If yes –
A listening ear
A sealed mouth
Will ensure respect
Without a doubt
So
Be careful
Whom you vent to
And always be on guard
For covering up spilt secrets is indeed very hard

Respect the privacy of others
As you would want your own
For words are heard to catch
Once they have already flown.
