1. Juxtaposition
Look above all the way up
The very high sky
Reflecting light grey color.
Clouds merging with
Low peaks and slopey hills.
Shadows of dark colors
Gleaming on the front peaks
Merging with open water.
Getting darker as moving farther
Far off the light grey paint.
Though soothing!
Jetty displayed a warning sign
Standing on strong pillars.
White seagulls perched there
Crane in the middle dominating
As if owning the space.
Stunning and petrifying
The viewers with prophecy
For a divination with alert.
In the open wide space of water
Solitude and tranquility
Parallel to man-made predictions
One is offering peace
The other has perilous forecast
Based on reckless actions.

2. Visible Distinction
The piercing quietness
Seclusion and desolation
Reflecting from the mountains
Without any stir or sound.
Quietly floating clouds
Water moving at its pace
With no waves or tides
Everything is standing still.
Adding solitude and tranquility
Providing solace to the mind
See as far your eyes can reach
With an appreciative gaze.
In search of peace and quietness
Who would avoid this place;
Clouds and peaks merging with water
Unifying all in one grandeur.
Though a predictive warning sign
Distinctly displayed on the jetty
Prohibiting each and everyone
Must not jump or dive.
Winged creatures dared to challenge
One wonders at the innocent birds
In Isolation strolling gleefully
Reflecting in the serene water.
