The Sea by heather Benn

                     
                                                               The Sea  

                           The gulls swept across the sky squawking,
                            like Seraphs announcing the dawn of a new day.
                            The sea below mirrored the gulls
                             The sun was rising with a red fanfare.

                             Dissolving the remaining shadows,
                             with its startling effervescence
                             The feathery waves rendered a musical symphony.
                             Awakening nature to its creation.

                           The tide ebbed and flowed throughout the day,
                            like a bird lighting on the tops of the waves,              
                            Flying and dipping, flying and dipping.
                            Has the bird so the waves with the same monotony.

                            Then on the horizon , a cloud approached
                            to end the peacefulness of the day.
                            It scudded across the bay, the sky was leaden,
                            snuffing out the light, then came the rain.

                            Lashing across the bay, where was the beauty now!
                            thunder rolled around like the beginning of war.
                            With its cracks like gunfire, and lightening
                            like the flashes of the guns.

                           Now the light has gone, another day over
                           the sea silvery under the darkening sky.
                           The gulls had gone to there nest
                            waiting for the dawn of another day.

                          The wind arose and whipped the waves
                           like creamy champagne, bubbling up.
                           And shooting skywards like the cork has been pulled
                           So the drama of the elements were being played out..
