The Mag - 202

"This life is a shadowy thing, lad.  We live in a crowded space of lights and shadows, and when left to ourselves, we all too often fail to see the brightest light of all." - James Michael Pratt, The Lighthouse Keeper.

WINTER'S STORM

A meanness thirsty on revenge
it thunders on
always threatening.

Soundless snowflakes flicker
black sky surrounds me
atop this tormented salty sea.

Raging monstrously 
reaching higher and higher
insidious roaring waves
and droplets freeze solid.

The hammering against bare metal
runs through me
wrenching moaning 
icebergs setting.

As passionate as a rock
this winter's ice
grinds right down, storm and all.

To the bottom of water's ground
deep beneath me
always a bite away
chewing and spitting.

Into fathom water
it falls, covered by roving sand
buried forever.

Until, next time.
