Fierce as a maelstrom

locked up in a jar.

Like lightning strikes

upon the sea;

the thunder of a heart.

It stirred a storm

Inside the soul.

Spans whirlwinds

through the mind.

Shook the foundations,

cracked to the core.

Surged like lava

through quivering vines,

twisted into veins.

It stalked like a predator,

hunted prey.

An early bird

who catches the worm;

spirits him away.
