Heart

Beating like a drum

Eyes

Surveying the surroundings

Hands

Shaking with fear

The ground begins to shake

More and more

Until it's ahead of me

Swift like water

Terrifying

It surrounds me

And I'm engulfed in its radiance

It's heat, burning my flesh

I'm Frozen in place and

Unprepared for the relentlessness of this beast

As it grazes through the grass and trees

Destroying all in its path

The temperature steadily rising as it approaches

Closer, and closer

Till I have nowhere to turn

Nowhere to run

The source of power,

Erupts once more

Sending more force to the beasts

And I am encased

In its rocky fumes
