All rage now vanquished
23 September 2020
Seething energy
the fury of elements
breaks into a storm
Heavy lightning strikes
Nature no longer passive
shares its violence
All furor unleashed
in sync with nature’s madness
heavens turn ink black
Churned into frenzy
seascapes heave with creeping waves
overcoming land
Waters once stagnant
restore passion of their roots
Marshes spill over
Ferocity speaks
intensity at its peak
in quaking mountains
The heart follows storms
A pyre for minds alights
magmatic, alive
Wistful rain falls fast
upon the brooding landscapes
reluctant soothing
Gradual easing
Slow trickle of honey flows
into my bosom
The quiet restored
Ire a ghost of the past
All rage now vanquished
