::

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -The Worthily Beloved William Shakespeare

The Seas Never Lay

From the sea, angry waves roll in
brimming with tumultuous froth.
For this is the sea of wrath,
and fate hinges on its unbalanced game.

This water of utter black thrashes
beneath a sun, its sheen of pearls;
the pulsing rays trample the fury
of the waves as they topple in a curious fluster.

The sun's beams speak the voices of angels,
quelling the great vengeance of the waters,
And begging calm to come,
to relinquish the frenzy of the foam.

Yet what does perverse the warm spell,
but the might of wind and storm,
refusing to let so easy the quell
take within hate a new form.
