An Unholy Hour

The sea churned at an unholy hour
surrounded by some mystical power
crashing the deck a raging wave
tonight the crew must be brave
how many would be lost or dead
dark clouds circulating overhead

from the captain’s lips he swore
flattening the sails as the sea roars
hungry sharks waiting for a feast
songs of the siren luring them east
the starless sky an ominous black
there would be no turning back

a blade of hope a twist of fate
over the horizon a sunrise awaits
the captain walks with a swagger
the sea retreats and loses its anger
standing on the edges of a new day
distant lighthouse guides the way

incorporating the following words in poem or prose

wave turning unholy lips swagger lost dead rise twist blade feast edges

Mythical Script

There once were two fools
that sailed the ocean blue
feasting on wondrous words
searching for golden swords 

chasing mythical creatures
dragons and dream weavers
the stars and moon their guide
navigating the changing tide

a beast capsized their ship
buried an unfinished script

Today, I Found

Beauty hidden in the tall lake weeds
along the colorful wildflower shoreline
here a great blue heron quietly feeds

sitting under a giant weeping willow tree
listening to nature's musical composition
there is a calmness that puts me at ease

white wispy clouds and a soft blue sky
spring full blown in its natural splendor
yellow irises and bees catch my eye

today, I found beauty and it was glorious
