Nor'easter

 

                                  

 Nor’easter

 

Black clouds catch oceans unaware, changing

folly of a perfect day

Doomed, the fair siren flees

her jagged  rocks  now exposed

Seeking sanctuary fathoms below

 

Surging seas ravage sacrosanct shores

Gales shatter false peace of a cloudless sky

Eye of the storm skirted; fury subsides

Sweeping twisted wreckage out to sea

 

Darkness shrouds the dunes

In desolate silence

Night's watch passes slowly as 

moonlight illuminates a sullen seascape 

 

Sunrise pierces the dawn sky over rolling  waves’ horizon

Morning gulls shrill cries echo over the swollen surf

Death cedes to life anew, preparing the way

To walk  clean  sands of a new day, try

Go……………………………….

Hey, this is really good. I like the pace, the word pictures, and definitely the way it sits on the page, that's cool. You have an interesting style, I like it.
