“Stormy Sea” by Dale Innis on Midjourney
“House in a Storm”
Hopeless as a shipwreck crashing on the waiting rocks.
Safe as a fireplace, and a living room, warm comfort- food,
with a storm raging outside.
Snug and dry… better not to peek through the drawn drapes.
Beyond these firm but fragile walls the tides are coming in,
with a howling wind…….
