The Lulled Quietude

Cold as a marble statue,
Just as empty inside.
My heart held a funeral; a graveyard inside.
I became the Anesthetic, though with a sense of peace inside.

Until petals flourished into flowers
And temptuous waters - once anarchic - became still.

The lulled quietude. 
I waited...
And waited...
Upon the quiet, empty sea.

The clouds above me cracked open --
A splitting, thin vein,
It frizzled.
Striking a spark of whiteness,
Violet glowing neon light --
Growing like roots.
The clouds did not burst;
The sky split right apart, in the centre, and the thunderous groan roared with life;
Indigo skies
Down-poured.

All sense shut out.
I became nothing, but
a pelting heart.
