I hear the echoes of a distant time,
As wailing gnats embrace the wind chime,
Their tiny wings are a symphony of sorrow
In the winnowing winds—their cries borrow,
For now, I am but a freshwater stream
Trapped between valleys, a mere dream,
But deep within my soul, a fire burns,
A longing to break free—to bear my turns.
I crave to be an ocean, wild and vast,
Where waves crash and dreams are cast
Touching continents with a powerful might
Drawing them closer, day and night.
My power is at its—height
As the sun shines with all its might
Air and water temperatures rise,
Underneath—cerulean skies.
A swirl of water and air my power unleashed,
Destroying all in my path—unappeased,
With every twist and turn, chaos ensues
As I revel in the destruction I choose.
The cool air wafts off lakes so serene,
Mixing with the heat above—creating a scene.
The surface of the lakes, now disturbed,
Ripples and rages, as if it were perturbed.
With furious eyes of fiery red,
I unleash my wrath—filled with dread
A tempest of fury—a dance of might
Engulfing the world in a relentless fight
No shelter can protect—no fortress can stand,
Against the force of my wrath, so grand
I tear through cities, leaving ruins behind.
Leaving no trace of mercy for mankind.
