Calm, placid waters of the North Atlantic
mingling with gently rolling waves and peacefull creatures of the sea.
The waters become impatient and aggrivated
suddenly,
slowly churning with increasing speed.
A column of water appears
velocity gathering,
and then the Gates of Hell open
swallowing the ocean;
a raging vortex in a downward spiral
that exists beyond the nexus point.
Poseidons' fury unleashed upon nature
and man.
Collecting the withered souls of ships
and crew that come to rest in his domain.
And as quickly as it begins it is over.
The whirling torrent subsides to
gentle waters,
and the dervish is no more;
Poseidon has returned to his keep.
Far below surface realms watching and
protecting his dominion,
resting in the aquatic recesses of
vivid grace.

| In my humble opinion it is too bad that I discovered this poem among the list of least read, because it has very powerful diction and depiction. |
