Behind Volcano

White smoke mist contrasts with deep violet ground
River of fire like blood gushes splashing around
Volcano gives off roaring sound
As flaming rocks their way through atmosphere will find

Flaming crowns adorn the forehead of fire lord
In his dark hand he has a sword
His eyes burn with cold fire and all he has to do is give a word
And the flames will devour this entire world

That is how earth was four and a half billion years ago
The lava everywhere would flow
Volcano’s scarlet contrasting violet earth with fire would glow
The ash would fall like winter snow

There is something that will exist
Beyond this fiery mist
Something that of very soul of Earth will consist
And on revealing its visage one day it will insist

This just five billion year proximal
But what of force like that that is truly primordial
Not just planets but suns in that way temporal
As many of them as limitless to limited to abyss powerful
