Twins
They rose from the sea...
One trembling and oozing out fear,
throwing tantrums, havoc, ill will,
spewing lava, smoke and hot springs.
Ever present even today
and a threat to all on the land;
with shudders she spits and she spills.
Though barren and grey are her soils,
hot mud flows beneath, dynamic
great fountains amuse with displays.
------------------------------------------
The other...is regal and grand.
Fills valleys with rivers and streams:
while hills stretch their tentacles high.
From the peaks and the boulders and crags,
waterfalls slide, cascade,
meander and twist through the land.
The glaciers, the ice, and the fiords:
only a start to the splendor,
the grandeur and honor bestowed.
Spellbinding Majesty - Castles touching the sky,
with their shoulders surrounding us
on all our sides -
as God does, when we are in strife.
They rose from the sea...
