A wave.
An awesome wave crashes upon the shore.
Yellow, coarse send explodes in a vivid shower of gold.
Aquamarine water lands upon palm trees.
Blood-red skyline shimmers for a moment before flickering into the dawn.

A star.
A crystal star twinkles delicately among the night sky.
Blinking in the universe, small, but so massive.
Independent from the world,
Burning the elements around its flaring warmth.
Finally, suddenly, exploding in a great burst of energy.

A lunar eclipse.
Blocking out the light that warms us on brisk fall days.
Rust orange, capturing light particles,
Creating fire in the sky.
Standing bright against an indigo backdrop.

A shout.
A violent noise that lifts the dust from the floor.
Shaking the roof over a solitary home.
As the drunken emits his lion roar in an assertion of dominance.
Powerful, frightening;
Taking the breath away from the silent night.
Destructive and burning,
Leaving burn marks upon the wall.
