I Am

I am thunder.
I am the roar of the waves,
crashing, suffocating, breathing my howls 
into your bones. 
Smearing my wrath and power across your 
skin
and branding my smile onto your lungs,
a sight that cannot be obliterated.
I am the night.
I am the explosion of stars, 
the beauty of the eclipse.
The music of the moon, the dance
of the sun. 
The Earth foams with my words
and trembles when my feet walk
to my throne.
