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
