Calm and resolute.
Swallowed, the frothy waves churn
deep, roiling, raging.
Traps waylay maelstroms,
protecting the status quo.
Water high. Skies blue.
Placid surface slips.
Old habits frequently fail.
Wild waves. Wicked winds.
At last, walls are breached.
Inevitable. Ordained
Furies are unleashed.
Rapacious onslaught.
Ferocious, savage glee.
Eradication.
Then remains debris
Waves unbounded rest easy.
Calm and resolute.
