Sea Change

The waves pound and roar at the wind's scream,
And white horses thunder on the pebbly beach.
Foam plays in the air
And lightning gleams over storm-tossed waves.
Heaven explodes in light
Booming in a thousand tongues.

The sky's heavy mantle is gashed
A ruby eye peers through–
Stares with finality before the veil falls
And hell is black again.
