Suspense
Scattered, destroyed the sandy nest,
broken shells tossed about and dry;
all that was promised, unexpressed.
A summer morning bright blue sky
and calling seagulls on the fly
hint not of savage summer storm
that shook the ocean to her core.
The beaches all have lost their form,
sea bowels drained upon the shore,
lives destroyed in the wild uproar.
Quickly the atmosphere can change
with so short while to contemplate;
a hurricane will rearrange
both human and animal fate.
There is nothing to do but wait.
