A Vengeful Sea

Tides of angry crashing waves swell tall
The shore abruptly braces itself
Ancient books and secrets have held
This thousand year old epic battle 
Famous fortunes fortold of this war
Hundreds of fight to settle the score
creatures emerge from the murky deep
abandoning all reason or sympathy 
The salty sweat of its razor tongue 
Lashes out and melts the once brilliant sun
Cursed the landscape into dust
Cliffs and mountains all forsaken 
No longer grace us with their wisdom
A thousand years crushed eviscerated
A scorched earth now blackened ashes
