Inevitable defeat

The tempest rages spitefully
as it has done all through the night.
Determined to defeat the sea
it gives no quarter or respite.

The rolling thunder loudly roars
across the heavens ceaselessly
Forked lightning flickers like a sword.
A weapon wielded expertly

Which strikes the surface of the sea
to small effect. The sea ignores
this useless waste of energy.
The raging storm cannot enforce

it's will. The mighty sea denies
the storm the smallest victory.
No matter how the tempest tries
The storm will cease eventually.

The storm clouds slowly dissipate
As silence stills the thunders roar.
The sea resumes its peaceful state
and all is as it was before.

The tempest tried to no avail
to overcome its enemy.
Its puny efforts doomed to fail
against the everlasting sea.
