When the Sea Is Angry

When the sea is angry Waves, like knives, penetrate deeply Secrets are revealed Stingrays uncovered, at risk Burrow deep When the sea is angry Shells buried for time unknown Surface in brilliant majesty Secrets are revealed The coral braces, mortality guaranteed Death and destruction inevitable When the sea is angry Sand scattered, settles again History buried, rears its head Secrets are revealed What is exposed, covered again Nothing left for man When the sea is angry An explosion born of fury Brings forth, then takes away again When the sea is angry Secrets are revealed
