Sixteen Million Years
Youth the infectious energy of beginners
The birth of possibility
Exploding cauldron of lava
Exuberant force expressing itself
Volcanic landscape re-writing itself
Over and over
The separation of the arcane
Ruptured between colossal plates
Incremental movement unnoticeable to the eye
Elemental purification
Fire, wind, water, earth
Cascades of energy everywhere
Rivulets and torrents breaching
Glacial sculpted walls
Epic ramparts loom
Merge with the sky
Contrast abruptly with black sandar flats
Mordor’s remnants
Howl of the wind lashing treeless expanses
Rhythmic drumming ocean cadence
Soulful flight into the wilderness of consciousness
