Stifled Maelstrom

The past tears came upon a nightmare scream,

As horrific as a scar-face crime scene.

Some over-exposed it like a strip of film

And flung mud on fabrics of a great dream.

Now a modern phoenix rises from its ashes,

Pounces on Zephyr to glimpse fantasies,

Soon-to-be tapestry of our realities.

Galleries of fabled feats mark our bush track:

Fallen legends and rising heroes,

Pungent pointers to a stifled maelstrom.
