'A burning'

And Branches tore when thunder threatened,

They were as a wreck in a storm's greed

as the wind best it's little leaves

left it naked, quivering in the breeze...

The lightning struck...smelt earth burning

And brook churning

Great tremulous shafts, zeus's;

neared the tree, the black night split, wept the muse

great galloping glimmers, every stroke of white light

burnt blue, the clouds, heavy begin to Let low thier tears in fright

AS flashes after flashes broke.

As apon a lofty hill, the tree braced

The waves roared up the grassy slopes

they thrashed and beat with every flash

Ever nearer struck each bolt, Love trembled

And with an crash...

Like the sun when it explodes

Stars when they errupt

when the poles crumple in a earth shattering wrench

The great Ray struck,

it Clove the tree that love there breathed

A burning angst..

Flames engulfed cupid's seed

Rage and betrayal

nature had in her loving embrace nurtured

Nature's very anger smote

blue bolts of great lightning

Storms of Great enemies swept

every vestige of love that wrestled with time

Love that breathed and gasped in a smothering distance..

smote in the bolt that dropped from the sky

One soul rent in the strom's great blast,

it tried and in its pangs tries to protect the other..

And now it needs love's little dew drops,

it needs a cradling embrace to hold it's broken pieces..
