Prayer to Poseidon that the Earth be Calm

Prayer to Poseidon that the Earth be Calm

A Poem by Hypnos

Poseidon, earth-shaker, master of all
the waters of the world, your hand we see
in the trembling earth and the roiling seas;
by your will does the land beneath our feet
convulse and split open, by your might do waves
crest and crash on the shore, breaking the works
of men beneath. Many are the names
we give to your rage�"tremor, tsunami,
landslide, surge�"yet all are within your power
to compel or to conclude. Poseidon,
I pray to you, have mercy on the children
of men, still and subdue the wrathful earth.

Interesting. The ending made me think of Noah from the bible for some reason. Great poem. It's very unique.
