Mood Swings

A pulsating sea prancing with it's shore wallowed waters hollering new thoughts buoyant memoirs seething and submerged torrents in vortex, of haves and have nots. wave after wave, rolling and receding in restless rhythm, crashing on the cliffs, passions of turbulence in serene harmony churned by winds, a wilderness of riffs. seismic aqua rumpus in perpetual roar a wild wave behind, suddenly disappears lapping the white sand, sparkles of foam hiding a pearl in oyster's pain and tears. Cadence of grief and joy, come and go soaring and swooping, a calypso sings What bothers you so, O mighty Ocean? You drench my soul in your mood swings

This poem is magical in it's word choice and imagery. I like how you capture the essence of the sea and call it out on it's " mood swings". Engaging yet respectful of nature's attitudes I found this a relaxing read.
