Dark skies--
whose gray clouds, swollen with rain
drift in the still air, exhausted.
The atmosphere is choked with oppressive humidity
while the world holds its breath, silent, still
in anxious anticipation.
Waiting,
waiting for the inevitable;
bright but fleeting tendrils of light
crackling between the fingers of Zeus
extended across the heavens.
The silent rebels against the night;
Mute at first
but rattling the earth,
more powerful than Hercules.
Faster than probability--
with a passion that outshines the Sun.
Such power, such potential!
Gone in a flash but whose echo resounds
in the ears and hearts of its trembling audience
who cower in awe
at the terrifying allure of Gaia.
