Thunder Challenging the Gods
Thunder Challenging the Gods
Soft warmth coerced an easiness
spent waves lapping my thankful feet
crabs skittering sideways, castanets posed,
dance to the ebb and flow of
water’s endless journey.
Gulls circle tides shifting winds
shrieking at the change of fate,
hardened edge and hot steel blend
sparks igniting demon trait.
Valiant the battle
waged beneath the darkened sky
humid heat – dry cold
light slashing the horizon.
Thunder challenging the gods.
