The Unpredictable Sea by Pat St. Pierre
The Unpredictable Sea
(previously published 2011 in Eye of the Needle)
The sea, an angry huntress,
thrusts itself upon the sea rover.
Wild winds hamper massive sails.
The ocean’s white foam
curls;
thunderous waves
explode
against the bluff.
The sea is fearless
and wants to be in control
but the mariner is relentless.
He struggles to assert his authority.
As he shouts to the heavens.
the mariner’s scream is carried away.
His body crumbles;
the ocean once more defeats man
and again assumes command.
