- Sanctity of Nature -

Missing image

 

 

 

Ivory canvas shifted amidst teal as smoke blew
within barren landscape, angry winds stomped.

Wrath twisted soil, accosted earth and horizon
already in heated exchange with lightning threats
over daylight savings time.

Centaurian reinforcements called upon to travel
and stake claim if clan were to thrive in desert
for flames baked clay foundation, their hooves
stepped in union upon pebbled markers.

Bow and arrow formed allegiance to strike in heart
of electrical force with friendly 'fire'.

Prayer ignited before wooden rod released-

as eye of storm strained to avoid direct hit,
encircled mountain empathetic also unprotected.

Elementals encroached on sanctity of nature,
incited battles so Humanity's intolerance ceased to maraud.

    This is amazing, Desire. You have so much talent.
    Seemed metaphorical, especially the part of the Earth and lightning. It made me think of like a battle between Earth and Heaven or something. Congrats on the honorable trophy.

    Penned perfectly
