Storm Breaks

blacken clouds like boulders rumble racing as spears of light flashed down howling the air rips over the dark darkened land tearing at all stand before it wild crashing aquamarine peaks flung high roaring thunder crashing trembles the very air tearing ripping clawing at the shore retreating waves pulling carrying away banners wildly flapping in the tearing air ripping torn to tatters streaming in the wind symbols of mere men against nature fails snapping popping flapping quickly torn away trapped within the rock's cold seeking to find escape climbing up to the battlements longing to be free white linen by the wind and rain formed pressed against the trembling flesh hair blonde torn from the pins flowing in the wind towering above the crashing surf bare rocks lie exposed by time buttress mighty bearing up ancient castle in the sky water tears at tiny rocks flowing they fall away larger stones then are free to slip and fall away ancient way of Roman stone ascends from plain below twisting turning up mighty slope to plateau where the castle reigns armor tarnished no longer bright dents and scratches beyond repair stallion mounted ascending up wearied by journeyed long boulder great long buried within beyond all knowledge of man now kissed by the ocean waves as surroundings stone washes away dungeon steep cold and dank begin to slip and crack as cold water slips within and founding stones slip away quiet trembling grow beneath movement slow begins mighty rocks now slip away roaring sea claims it all
