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

Since others pretty much spoke to how good the message was, I’ll just say, wow, just how many you wrote this week. Awesome.
Thanks a lot. The words were really inspirational.
First thing that came in my mind was how nature always come back to restore, Autumn after Summer, Spring after Winter, Sun after Storm, Nature after Man, is this Covid raising it’s head to correct Humans fault? Once again beautifully recited by Geetha
Definitely something to think about Jann whether covid is a wake-up call for humanity. Thank you for reading and commenting. I am glad you enjoyed the reading of the poem
You are welcome Geetha. Yes, I am glad you take the effort also to recite the poems, it gives an additional dimension to hear your voice
Splendid romp through the prompt
