I sit and watch <br />While my ocean storms and rages <br />Tumultuous and unending <br />The grey sky clashes with the world <br />While the rains fall again <br />Immortal is the strife that continues <br />A circle that does not begin nor end <br />And between the turmoil <br />Lays the calm thats rarely seen <br />The placid-ness that lasts forever <br />But even that is not long enough <br />It's hard to think in the midst of destruction <br />Hard to think that fire brings growth <br />And that the downs distinguish the ups <br />The lightning flashes in dark <br />Eventually the moon looks down <br />And in the darkness the waves lie still; <br />And all too soon they begin again<br /><br />Autumn Winds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waves-79/
