Volcano

Craters, silently sleep. Land and People all at it's mercy milleniums of years rising suddenly hissing Days of loud snoring it's belly turning and churning Gases rising from it's indigestion as it liquifies the earth It's relief spreads wide to our misfortune a mega explosion as the crater finally throws up exploding spew releases lava. Fire balls directed at unknowing targets it's ulcer has erupted reshaping the land, diminishing air quality wiping out civilizations creating new species building earth where there was none It's quiet......... all that is left is it's chaotic stance. Devastation a reminder of it's presence. For now, It, sleeps again. (c) Glen Harris
