Oceans of fury,

Skies vast with sleeping violence,

Blue harbours of life.

    Hi, Thank you. Both the sky and ocean can be violent and causes for death, and yet at the same time, life wouldnt exist without the air the sky holds, or the sunlight it brings, and the ocean provides life to all that live in it, as well as rain for those who live on land. Both are blue, and both are habours and bringers of life.

    hi Roger. Your imagery is powerful and distinct. I have oceans and skies here...does the blue harbour represent both or one of the other? I keep getting two distinct elements here - sky and water and a deep juxtaposition of the safe harbour and impending violence therein---thundercloud- yes? I keep hoping for more visual clarity...am I on the right track

  • Thanks Tracy :)
