An Angry Sea
by Robert Becker – September 21, 2022
The sea, the wind and Celtic God’s
seem angry today
not wanting us to pass through
they’ve altered our course
churning the charted waters
of life on this day.
The massive ship Mars
rocks and it rolls
its new frame creaking
as it pounds
nautical mile after nautical mile
through the wind and waves.
The tenders won’t be lowered
the wind and the waves too high
for the safety of passengers
and crew, the captain has spoken,
sail on and relax
‘til our next port of call.
As we watch the swells
of swirling foam
the turbulent splashing waves
that seem to keep pace
as the ship sails on
through an angry sea.
