Not just a colour
But a feeling
Of oneness
That binds loose ends
And condenses everything around it
Making even a small ripple seem so detrimental

Senses on high alert
Tingling and stiffening muscles

Stark realities surround
Echoes reverb with ease
Off walls of volcanic rock
Reminders of our ancestors

Waters covered the earth
Vast and uncompromising
From deep to depth
Spontaneous and tuned to nature
Gullible in its unstructured form
Yet almighty
