morning repentance
evenings of molten earth
uninterrupted erupting
upper crust stuff
streams of roughed up lava
lofty redeeming geology
a treatise of monsters
signatures come to life
excruciating rivers
burning and smoldering
solemnly excommunicated
vents and psalms from the very deep
divine vortex within the mantle core
such a sacred church
creation's augmented congregation
layers measured in granite time
hymns of sanity beneath our feet
hell's forthright gravity and fury
prayers echoing a raucous storm
loud reverberating remarks
blasts around the rippling planet
scribbling nature's lasting art
molding each continental canvas
scribed and folded into bold vaults
red sprites and blue faeries
what an epic halting image
hovering glowing balls
orbs of blue light
raw earth energy
electricity enlightening each contrite night
far beyond fright control
insightful eruptions
yet another striking volcano
incinerating a distant shore
more crying fire and trying ice
whose dream is this
oceans of intimate change
spewing churning news
rumbling and grumbling anew
staged reviews from this fragile molten core
mosaics of ethereal life and lava
chewing through each preface door
did heaven finally call out
should frozen earth resurface
permafrost ever repent
all these earthly corruptions
how many more
splitting the ocean floor
mantic tomes abound on this planet
everything entombed and recycled
romantic life itself so entitled
selfish surrounding everything
like there is no righteous tomorrow
devouring creation without sorrow
stimulated morning to evening
smoking beginnings to ashen ends
each chapter of sensational thought
molten messages in atomic paragraphs
persistent existence extends
burning mouth to fiery hand
such a frightful brutal trend
that twin-tailed comet
interstellar prophecy attends
