Natural Relations

The sea presents a range of faces,
wild rage to calm.
They appear in no predictable order. 

Moon presents formulaic phases,
their order known,
length of stay completely de rigueur. 

Both moon and sea have power, 
the tides related, 
but the sea also has artistic hands:   

first shaping and then conforming
to the shape of land.
