As the rain fell on the back of the beast
like tears on the flesh
it melted away the pain
and like acid in the desert
it disheveled
the dust and unearthed
the tremolite and fears of the past
thus causing the spread
of the Wrath of the Gods,  
the Gods of the Earth

And as they thundered
   And roared with a rawp
  the lightning flashed on
              with the strike of their Staves

         But just when it started to get out of hand
      A peace came about
             And concealed the rivoting rage

   So as the storm peaked
       the monster was stopped
And in place of it stood
           the shadow of an Angel
The Archangel of Life

I wrote this when there was this massive rain storm and I was trying to make the image of a cloud and rain, but I guess it wouldn't post the way I envisioned it...
Thanks for the reviews.

Oh and any ideas on what I should call this piece...
