The whaling sun falls to the sea of wrath
The sky burns gray and black
Krakens and monsters alike spread their tendrils
The thunder a cry for lost sailors

Ships of rain sail for the earth
They hunger for the lands salvation

Some find their home
The safe harbors of blue
Some find towering titans of green
Snapping their vessels in twain

One ship feeds the pink dancers
A peony.
