Resurrection From the River.

One golden eye glowers, proud Poseidon deigns lift the scored shards of malice where mere mortals sift. Becalm unnerved waters, cleanse steel gray to green before sanity shatters with one glimpse of this scene. Surge forth healing rivers, bathe stunned souls to heal Sweep clean filthy flotsam, let no grim grime congeal. Stout salt of forbearance, restore what had once been Sure embrace, stalwart prince, lest it happen again.
