The Seaweed (2)
… A strong blast of wind blew near…
The tree, no longer capable to hold on, flew with a tear
I tumbled onto the ground
Holding the seaweed close to my heartbeat’s bounds
I tried to open my eyes to see what has approached
But the severe flow of dust had my eyelids blocked
I stood still beside the humble earth
Where, in fact, I had it in my arm’s warmth
Suddenly, footsteps were heard
But, those weren’t of the normal and common herd
~ Four steps at the same time
A slithering sound was added to the rhyme
Roars exploded with every clock’s chime
A monstrous figure advanced the sublime ~
A legendary soldier of darkness’ end
A legendary monster of Greek mythology’s trend
A chimera stood; a fiend having a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and serpent’s tail
The seaweed’s “BEWARE” echoed
For what it had was to be displayed
Just behind the unpleasant creature
Rolled the “disastrous coach” of the featured
Yes, darkness lured into nature’s soul
As fear’s shadow began to call
An attack towards “those who dare to approach”
And so, with all the courage I had
I stood against the bad
Suddenly rays of light and darkness enlightened the sky
Fighting to reach an end; even if it meant to die!
