Moods of Ocean and River

Swelling, surging, heaving, steely grey,
white-tipped waves race, chase,
press on across the bay,
crashing smash on jagged rocks,
sparks high the billowed spray.
––––––––––––––––––
Sunshine, breeze, and placid calm,
bright and blue, a tranquil balm,
power stilled, no thought of danger, harm,
– wiped out,
erased all signs of fierce and forceful, lashing storm.

===================

Hustling, bustling narrow stream
tumbles into gentle Monnow
which glides, and flows,
slowly going on its steady way;

round the bend a stony bed, –
water rippling, sunlight stippling;
here and there the river babbling, burbling
accompanying the cheerful
birdsong warbling.
