Ash Falls

A vivid depiction of a volcanic eruption and how one in the past would have viewed it.

Ash Falls

The ash fell softly like feathers,

the winds gently caressing the trees.

A storm raged on in the background,

An evil that only the earth could conjure.

Waves lapped ashore, slamming with

massive amounts of force.

The sea swelled and became a monster

and ate ships whole.

A silent calm was upon the mount,

With rigid observers of luminous reds and oranges.

Spewing forth were the horrors of the earth.

The gods had abandoned them this day.

And the world shook.
