Creation
Those eyes were watery and deep
But within they held the sun
Shining bright and pure
A sunset sparkling over the ocean
Tears of unadulterated light
Streamed down well worn cheeks
Gathering at the chin frozen in time
Falling effortlessly through the air
Before crashing violently to the ground
Creating puddles that shone like liquid fire
It was in these pools the future was perceived
Hazy dreamlike images of things to come
The wind rustled and shook the leaves
Forming a cacophony of sounds and voices
Vibrations creating a molecular chain reaction
Changing the air into a malevolent assault
An evil and dangerous presence in the world
Shaking even the deepest foundations
Until they could take it no longer
Collapsing upon themselves in agony
Down rained debris like rose petals
Shadowing the ground with anger and hate
As the darkness descended it grew deeper and darker
The entire world began to break under the weight
Canyons formed where fields ran free
Swallowing nature like a starving devil
Ravenous and unrelenting the world devoured itself
Slowly imploding into an everlasting void
An eternal nothingness which reigned forever
Towering over everything with arbitrary apathy
In a lake of light brilliant and blinding
The man who cried sun kissed tears stood
An island Eden surrounded by the oppressive hurricane
Wind whipped features weathering the storm
His ears holding ground in the symphony of screams
A once blue sky turned sickly grey without a soul to support it
It hid inside his hands of rough tree bark
The only safe sanctuary in a disintegrating world
Mud and blood filled the cracks in the Earth
Drowning what little life clung to the sides with effort
Finally the man with sunbeam tears had enough
Bass drum rhythm poured lazily from his mouth
Words in an ancient accent from a complex tongue
Simple sounds with epic repercussions for all that heard
The wounds upon the planet's face mended
Mountains of scabs grew and scarred the ground
Echoes of screams bounced between them before dying coldly
Nature reclaimed its kingdom of lush glory
Slowly his sunbeam pupils focused on the looming diseased shadow
His hands opened and the sky exploded in azure brilliance
