Isabel, Isabel
It's been so long
Since your name reigned
Reaching out to the world
When Your wish
Was your command
Law, as it was then
Oh, my beautiful Isabel.
~~*~~
How graciously you demand
Your whims, wishes and orders
To be heed around the world
Of your Conquistadors.
Then a world without borders
Brought about
Dark moments for many
Who's knowledge was dim.
~~*~~
Over shadowed
By trickery and greed
Of your so call
Civilization
In your reincarnation
Again you reigned, from then east
Huge was the monster
Created out of control.
~~*~~
Released
From the darkest corner
Of the Abyss
An over powering entity
Consuming all within your path
As you stir and chum
The unholy depths,Of the ocean's
Unknown.
~~*~~
swallowing clouds, throttling the earth
Into rumbling thunder
Spitting out rods of lightning,
blinding destruction.
Again, issuing orders
Not to your Columbian era worriors
But, to the Reaper, Neptune
And the gate keeper of hell.
~~*~~
As ships struggle, on the raging seas
Attempting to steer, into righteousness
Reaching out towards the savior
Of their souls
Mother nature
Unable to defend herself
As shorelines, disappear crumbling
Under His darkness powers
beyond recognition, as they erode.
~~*~~
Heavenly fowls
Once conquering the skies
Now with fear they hide
A wild rose
ripped from earth's bosom
Flies into the wind
To its destiny.
