Altered

.

beneath a sea, plates of dispute spawn waves,
born with the intent to leave the shoreline
altered

_
turbines of wind in pillage of fury, 
kill the helpless, but do not leave courage
altered

_
from brilliance of a firestorm's vengeance
don't be blinded by fear, hope must not be
altered

Wow! Look at you take the ball and run, so many just described the picture, I did not know who wrote what and didn't check, most did not make form errors [that was nice!] I think you were very smart knowing me and my love of LONG to pick this form & to make a string as I said you could! This verse also stands alone with or without the art. Congrad's Light & Love
