Poetry Break - 'Seaburnt and Windblown' - an original poem

I have seen a sea in rage,
Agonizing beneath the Sun,
Full of green brine and soils
Whipped up from distant lands
.. ..
This sea is calm for hours
Deep, grey slate surface with
Wings all through it’s middle
While at bottom, all is dark
.. ..
And then it roils from within
Storm rising from it’s depths
Disturbing everything in it’s path
Leaving no pebble unturned.
.. ..
This is not an open eyed sea
But one that appears with eyes
Closed tight, praying for slumber
Seeing something truly Real.
.. ..
One can look to the sea
And not take in it’s immensity
Yet form a perfect picture
In the mind’s eye…
.. ..
The form, the substance, the
Geometry and algorithmic
Curls can be seen to perfection
Unlike what lies before.
.. ..
This is the Real, I think
As I lie in a bed thousands
Of miles from the shore
Surfing the waves of my windblown
sea…
