Of water as they are colored by the suns flames here resides an ever present rage The fibers of forest green are darkened beneath The weight of wet assimilation Transpires, enveloping you into a distant memory Of nothingness My scars seared on like armor Remind I burn through air And earth Transcending creation, Destruction’s my curse You, as the maker Took more than I was worth. Maybe you knew in the wisdom That sometimes comes with strife. The life you had given Was not yours to claim. These walls I built for water stand sturdy, scorched by pain.
