The Isolated
Harsh, wide open basin.
Everything calm as can be.
Daily life flowing as usual.
People have toiled throughout
the day, ready to depart to their
humble abode.
Warnings-
For those to take heed,
to only leave their shelter
unless their reason is justified.
Humans preparing to the best of their
ability of tracking the untrackable.
There is a dusty, musty mountain that
overlooks this arid landscape.
Asserting its dominance over
the man made, polluted civilization that
lies abroad where it follows.
The calm before the storm,
comes to a screeching halt.
In a ripple of time the night
is painted clear as day.
The hottest thing known to man,
distracts everyone from their lives.
An abstract, but deceivingly ugly
image of what nature
has to offer.
This image leaves all those
fortunate enough to witness in utter
astonishment.
Vibrations are felt from this gleaming,
adamant, current of death from anyone
unfortunate enough to be possessed by it.
Reveals itself in such a complex pattern.
Striking the lifeless, dry bump in the earth,
Precisely where it was meant to be.
It leaves in the loudest of bangs,
Ringing in the eardrums of surrounding victims.
Comes whenever it feels is necessary,
And is gone whenever in a flash.
And mocking us on its way out.
