Hurricane of Opals
A hurricane of opals
plays along the surface of the sea;
Such a fickle display of pageantry
as a war wages beneath the waves;
A hurricane of opals
controls the tumultuous tide;
Shades of violet bruise the sea
with the toil of the mermaid below
caught in calamity;
Light battles evil;
For a moment good
is devoured by darkness,
then briefly there is balance;
Tale of fortitude the blueprint
of a forever fantasy;
A hurricane of opals,
rose tinge deep within the abyss;
Flowers that flicker and flash
within the eye of a storm so dangerous;
Turbulent to dead calm,
washed amaretto with sunshine
playing along the surface;
A hurricane of opals.
