That which slumbers now awakens

The coal-stained silver lined clouds rumble,
Restlessly churning above a black range,
A symphony accompanied by the caw of crows,
Cemetery stones jut through mist like broken teeth,
Marking the empty husks of men and kin cowering within graves,
Screaming tree hollows drum with the sound of steady rain,
As the dried lungs of empty creek-beds breathe once more,
An intense feeling of static electricity fills the air,
As bright cobwebs of lightning flicker across the sky,
A heavy hum vibrates deep within the bowels of the land,
Something that once slumbered has awakened,
Stirring, timeless and immense with insatiable hunger,
A leviathan no longer content to remain darkly dreaming,
Once secreted away within the ocean realm of sleep,
This ancient is of the stars, of the land and sea,
A shapeless colourless world devouring entity.
