The Ashen Raindrop

Volcanic spat and gracefully fleeing, clawing free from cloying breath. Flame and fire, bolt and thunder Lofty pride puffs its wheezing lungs. Pumice stone, hiss possessed, Soar and tumble, spew and tremble, pyroclastic gush, clean sweep scrapes Its hellish gush claws the land. As pumice specks float on layers new, Tumble- turn- spin, climbs to climes. Clouded cold as tears cling to specks, And weighted grief drags them down. Freefalling grace and rainbow hewn, Falling to destruction and soft explosions. They assault the growling beauty beast, As its serpents hiss rages at rest.

really captures the essence of the volcano. We have one erupting on the big island of Hawaii and when the wind comes from the Kona direction we get the vog. Welcome and thanks for visiting my page. SuZ
