Storm Before the Calm
Brown clouds of sand blown by gales,
 a haze, blind chaos
 hiding the treasures of the land,
 A Harbinger of a beast
 claws at the eyes of man.
 
 Rolling waves of thunder crash on the point,
 where calm meets madness
 Its white fingers,
 Strikes lightning on the beaten shore
 Leaving heartbreak as they roar
 
 Blares of rushing water spins the endless stretch
 Createing whirpools in the above
 Hammering frozen tears to the below
 Belnding with the cries of a forsaken people
 
 The Earth quakes with fear,
 Twisting and thwarting
 A rift to an endless hell
 Broken ground, ravaged land,
 A tormented world
 
 A man waits in the temptest
 Beckoning the storm on,
 An old friend, once known
 Strength not forgotten
 
 His bright jubilation shines,
 a beacon for hope
 A knowledge known by few,
 Needed by all
 
 The chaos that breaks the peace,
 but a pebble on a road,
 to a serenity ten fold.
 The monster that wrents the land leaves retribution
 A more perfect place behind
 
 A sapphire mirror,
 Reflects the vibrant colors of heaven,
 Its beauty, still, silent
 Washing the sins of a world away
 
 Grizzled white haired giants,
 A tower between man and the Artificer
 It reaches to Him.
 
 The world lies sleeping,
 gentle whispers removing the dust
 Revealing a ground shaped perfect,
 a pearl.
 
 The man stares up, Lights of Heaven
 pierces the shrouded veil,
 His wisdom, clear as the constant golden morning
 That there is always a storm before the calm.
