Betrayal

Water was her realm, her source of emotion,
as she blithely gallivanted along the ocean
She basked in the freshness, as she calmly passed
an ocean whose texture resembled glass
The sky was a mystery- it had never been clearer,
as she gazed at the sea as still as a mirror

A pleasant breeze provided respite,
the rippling waves were quite a sight
Tiny wavelets rose and broke,
the shore- the water seemed to gently stroke
She heard the whispering of every leaf,
as it swirled in the breeze in many a motif

A moderate wind, which stung her eyes,
with great grandeur the waves would rise
White horses began to frequently form,
the air was charged, moist and warm
The sky turned murky, dismal, gray,
the gale built up a ferocious fray

The sky was black, the clouds hung low,
a terrifying storm began to blow
She could see nothing but mist and spray,
darkness reigned, devoid of a luminous ray
Fear bloomed, strong and singing, in her heart
as she witnessed the water play another part

A part of terror, peril, alarm-
the ocean lost its sublime, mystical charm
The hurricane roared, she fled for shelter,
other creatures mimicked, helter-skelter
Trees helplessly keeled, the thunder would pound,
as her love for the sea spluttered and drowned
