The Awakening - Act 1

From our seas they came A sleeping past Depth sleepers they were As they leave us aghast Our waters we thought All tranquil and blue Are running red A quite different hue The might of man Was in downfall Freefall Hence, from when we began Sightings from all over As our blues of depth In modern theatre strike Leave us red in reft This, this Undescribable being Honeycombed boned Just what am i seeing Buildings are complete Bodies are drained Civilisation In modern day strain There is a lull in their storm They, i no longer see But their aftermath Is all around me Mumified bodies Children with mothers Concave collapse In dried out smother I need to go with others And gather our thoughts In their rampage, pillage We will soon be at nought How do we react To a hidden unknown As our past has risen Our life as we know it, blown http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-13.php

These creatures that rose from the sea are terrifying, James. I read this twice, picturing each scene. "The Awakening" is a great choice for a sci-fi title as well. I'll be looking out for part 2. Love, Carolyn
