A tree,
So lavish in scopeSparked the novelty of all
A searing blaze
Quenched by
The serene breezes
Which sailed gracefully
To and fro
All the others stood beside
Insignificantly dwarfed
The comparison between
The sun and heaven
Rivers poured through
Offering strength
Vitality in its purest state
Nutrient filled Eden
Life, a plenty
Not even the most valiant winds
Dare match against
This tree
The break of the year
For all birds and critters
Its roots,
Unbending
Stood the trial of time
All leaned into it
After all, it was
Resilient
An oasis in a desert,
Shangri-la on Earth,
Farmland in the face of
The Tundra
And Belial thought
God will hear my name
He etched away all that was life.
The rivers drained
The sun, harsh
Followed by the frosty moon
A utopia turned dystopian
Gale blew away all life
Life,
Whispers no more
Its melancholic music turned into Belial's favorite note
Silence
But not peaceful
A flat,
Void
Ever trenching silence
A barrier not even the most
Vivacious dare break
One of which would have broken
When water flowed as fast as the serenity
All because of one fleeting thought.
This piece was meant to represent the fall of the Byzantine Empire resulting in the lost of culture, history, religion, and the very best minds leaving hence the rivers, creatures, and the tree's stability happening in an instant changing the powers at play. This piece also represents how fragile this world is today and what it would take with just a click of a button to send this world in a disarray.
