Tumultuous
the sea
was not calm
as last it gently lapped
against the sand
an internal storm
had seized and taken hold
the land
the rise of turmoil
in the wind
lashed the sailboats
to the harbor
and scattered lingering gulls
kited in the sky
the clouds had dropped into the sea
with strings attached
that made them dance
in a frenzy
that woke up all the waves
thus the rise and fall
of castles
in a storybook
yesterday
