Ride now, this sonic wave
like a musical soldier of Poseidon,
the clamor rising rhythmically
on strong seas of impulse.
Warrior rise! This song is your own,
honor pierces impenetrable heart
with words and sounds sculptured,
like rising bones of the world.
Thunder frequencies echo,
accompanying multi-spectral lightning,
entrusted to worthy soul
by a man become god.
This god, now demon,
barks messages of knowing truth,
a foothold on the unconscious
forever clarifying insanity.
Roar in reply, brave soldier,
releasing energies oft forbidden,
raised fist hammering heaven,
tearing it down to be a place on Earth.
Thunder climaxes to silence,
lightning fades to retinas memory,
ever the victor, proud hero,
the battlefield will be yours once again.

Thank you very much. It was a good prompt idea and it was something I had already started toying with writing in my head when the contest came up.

This was GREAT! I like how it was inspired by a live metal/rock concert. It really brings new depths forth in this piece, like at first I wouldn't have known it was about a music concert inspiration. After I read your author's notes I went back and read the poem again, and understood where you were coming from with that idea. All in all, this was brilliant! *3 applauds*

Thank you. I had been thinking about doing this piece all morning as I was on my way out to a gig that night.
