The Day After

The Day After

The blue ocean frolicked ‘neath a spring sunlight,
Musically slapping and making smiles of waves,
Portending of one cosmic roar, then still.
It flattened with tears beneath its surface,
Lashing and lonely in a new day’s dawn.
Its building and splashing and yesterday’s jolly day
Gone, past, gone.

I guess without the down days the good ones wouldn't seem so bright! Very well written and descriptive! I like the making smiles of waves and with tears beneath it's surface!!
