the Fist

To be able to grasp something

Means

You have the ability to fix it.

I grasped the sea

The rolling, tempest waves,

At the same time

Seven great islands,

Covered too in storm clouds

And ridden with mountains.

I grasped them,

Mighty hands clasped shut.

But the storms over sea and land raged on,

And I could not lay the mountains flat.

In time,

The storms made slow work of the mountains, and

The mountains made quick work of the storms.

Still I held them tightly in my fist.

I had watched two devils in epic battle;

I grasped

But could not calm

What nature could

Author notes

Somewhat about seeing through a god's eyes, but a very human, flawed, ego-centric god being humbled by nature.

I'm 16.
