Poseidon's Mood
/Yesterday
a sapphire ocean
with its calm surface
stretched to the horizon,
the sky above
a heavenly cerulean blue,
a serene majestic beauty
Today
the storm has come
the ocean churns
with towering waves
capped in raging foam
menacing all who dare
to sail into the maelstrom
A safe haven
or a watery grave
a sailor never knows
if the sea will offer
Poseidon’s wrath
or his blessing
