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
§
