The realm is toxic brine
sire to the killer waves
lashing against the crack-ridden rocks
now on the last phase of decay
This is the azure fluid
containing both tranquility
and violence of unpredictable character
On sunny climes and times of calm
they come from all geographies
to bask in gay liberty on beaches
pristine
unmindful of the terror
awaiting them at the advent of the crescent
and the rising
tide
Ritually the deities cry and helplessly surrender
to the fire creatures on the night
of the tropical wolves
Again the stillness
is shattered
this forbidden
side
of heaven
