Volcano
For
years, she quietly took it all
As
they bullied her without relief
Taking
her lunch money in the hall
Attacking
her core self-worth and belief.
The
mountain stands serenely tall
Looking
mild and peaceful
Not
showing inner turmoil at all
Seemingly
taking nature full.
All
her dreams she reflects upon
Knowing
that she is special inside,
Her
mind listing her gifts one by one
She
knows it’s time to turn the tide.
The
mountain’s true power is unseen
Only
a hint of it begins to come through
And
then, only to senses so very keen
An
inner rumbling starts anew.
As
they idle at their desks near sleep
She
calls upon her inner power
It
runs like a river within so deep
Filling
her heart so now’s her hour.
Pressure
since the beginning of time
Has
been building within the mountain
The
beauty of earth’s core sublime
Ready
to issue forth like a fountain.
She
draws a breath and stands
Facing
the tormentors with a boldness
Causing
a thunder clap with her hands
Lightening
heat facing their coldness.
Earth’s
core sends hot rivers upward
Seeking
expression at the mountain top
An
explosion of force about to be heard
True
nature will never stop.
Stealing
her nerves, she begins to speak
From
the eyes come terrible bolts
Pure
courage now does peak
As
tables are turned on these dolts.
The
hot lava reaches the ceiling
Pushes
the mountain’s peak into the air
Nothing
short of awe inspiring
All
life can only pause and stare.
Now,
she has them in her hands
They
know and feel the power of her soul
They’ll
eagerly meet all her just demands
For
while they are incomplete, she is whole.
The
mountain is now volcanic
A
rebirth within nature has occured
Out
of chaos and action manic
The
hearts of freedom has been stirred.
The
fiery lava of her words ends
There
is the remaining volcanic ash
Out
of which her Phoenix soul ascends
Forever
inspiring all with this clash.
