SEA

Grey, dull, foreboding,

restless ever on it moves.

Churning, splashing, curling, foam-forming

brack awash, lifting, sluggish falling back

inanimate,

ruled by the whim of the tide.

Relentless waves come on time after time,

moving everything in their path.

Calm,

murmuring gentle sea,

the same waves a rippling swell.

Shimmering quivering sunlight

gentling the mind.

The substance is the same

The mood has changed.
