The Wild Winter Wind Whips the Waves

This Winters day the wind is whipping up rows of  
turquoise  white tipped waves pounding towards
an organic seaweed ladened haystacked shore.
White froth riding on marching  parallell crests.
Five sailboats bending in a synchronised angle 
slowly sail left towards the sturdy wooden jetty.
The sky painted in shades of  cottonwool grey 
carries the winds journey  on the peaking sea.
The stinging sand dust  carried  by  the wind 
forms  a fine powder vapour on the shoreline.
Such is the strength velocity  of  natures  gale 
but  to seek refuge  from the wind-lashed tide.
The wild wind intent on the ocean fades in notts
as we walk on the path leading to the main road.
