drip drop, drip drop
a thousand beats fall
speed to the ground
and die
a smell so clean
upon the air
pausing, falling stop.
rolling roars
booming a mile off,
blowing,
gusting wind on the fields.
stalking ever closer
a million beats fall
and the beast of life
roars once more
closer, closer still
pouncing
covering all
striking down
in a brilliant flash
it starts
bleeding down,
pouring out,
giving life it bleeds
crack!
the beast bellows
and flashes,
down once more
slashing at its prey.
bleeding life down
upon its quarry
the beat is endless now,
the ground
covered 'n' drenched
the beast flashes away
finished of its prey
roaring the sky shakes
the beats slow and fade
the sky clears
upon the night
the beast is off again,
to hunt, to fight,
to once more sustain
the balance of life
