TEMPEST

Torrid thoughts leading to crippling surges of sunrises
mind still becomes ablaze in the glistening of new dawn,
till self enslaved is succumb to a perfect sagacious gaze,
plumes of anticipation stroking sorrow's breast.

Lucid layers as terraced epiphanies in our sky unfolds,
tremors of stars we have suppressed paint the elements of dare,
till we drink what we fear,
eagles born in the wake
of our trembling grasp.

Hope's rainbow visions stream in a poignant prism ecstasy,
heaven at last expands in our hearts,
peace becomes fireworks of constant awe
till we clutch beyond the chasms of our zombie state,
tempest becoming an enlightening calm.
