It swirled, like an eddy, from deep below
Took everything with it, in the undertow
Gulls hovered over, in awe of the sea
Tried hard, not to become, what would be
Such turbulence, they had never seen
Deep in the waters, this swirling green
Pristine white, its crests swayed, to and fro
How much it would engulf, was hard to know
We watched from above, afraid to go near
Lest the sea swallowed us, this we did fear
Mesmerized by its beauty, awed by its sight
It activated our senses, to flee out of fright
Still, there we waited, wondered, would it make good
Then we watched it take over, the place where we stood
Afterwards January Prompts – Turbulence
