Elements Unleashed (Work in Progress)

Ten thousand dreamers slept,

In dripping caverns kept;
Embraced by endless liquid night,
Never marked by linear spite.

Ten thousand dancers held,
In filigreed cages spelled;
Stances paused mid-flight,
Never marked by linear blight.

Ten thousand drummers bound,
In shadowy graves of sound;
Beating drums pulse in mime,
Never marked by passing time.

Ten thousand dragons banned,
In furnace fires fanned;
Breathing slowed, hearts aflame,
Never marked by the Father's game.

Silence.

Thunder.

The Earth shatters.

Caverns flood, the dreamers wake;
Desperately dashing; to oceans they take.
Liquid night melts to golden glow,
Sunlight pours into the mind, time's found in the flow.

Cages splinter, the dancers soar;
Furiously flitting, they dance in the roar.
Forever in motion, they waltz with the wind,
In various forces givers of life, time's all a-spin.


Rupturing earth, the drummers break free;
Loudly lumbering; to mountains they flee.
Drums crashing deafening rhythm and sound,
They play the heart, time moves in the ground.

Searing fires quicken, the dragons breathe;

Strikingly serene, they glide in the heat.
Molten hearts, all knowing fire in quiet eyes,

They ignite the soul, time's all a lie.

The elements frolic.

The Earth lives.
