Dangerous Beauty

Dangerous Beauty

Such dangerous beauty one beholds.
So Sleek and agile, water unfolds.
Waves crashing, bow their white crowned heads,
To the monotone monarchs, sea life dreads.

Starry skies, a soothing breeze,
Then salty sprays are joined with these.
Make way for beasts coming through,
They show no mercy to me, nor you.

Their kingdom is made from ice and snow,
Where man, nor beast dare to follow.
Cunning, swift, a dangerous plight,
Shrouded by the dark of night.

Frozen wastelands, Wintery dreams,
Is where this beast does reign supreme.
With splashing tails and waving fins,
This is where the fun begins.

They laugh and play just like you,
Keep family close, old and new.
Graceful dancers standing tall,
Garment of bubbles, fit for a ball.

But don't be fooled by smiling eyes,
The orca takes prey by surprise.
A tranquil awe when in view,
Dangerous beauty through and through.

Very nice. Just browsing around and found this gem. Please read By the Wind. Thanks, Al

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
