Squall

People love to go on about life’s ebbs & flows.
For some, sea weather takes a more threatening pose.

The ocean is beautiful, fierce & seductive.
Assuming it’s safe’s the worst kind of reductive.

Not all baby turtles make it to the water.
Nothing has met it without edges to slaughter.

Those that make it have a sharper & smoother edge.
It’s survivors forged keen by the surf’s sortilège.

You face a tsunami by accepting blind fate.
When the flood sluices out, you’re reborn in the wake.
