The Thunderbird flailed it's wings
in annoyance that it's lover was gone too long.
The ground shook in retort
and rocks toppled down the mountains
birthing an angry landslide
that echoed with anguish down the slopes.

The Thunderbird shrieked it's loudest wail,
in heartache of it's lost love.
The Heavens grew dimmer in somber spirits
and enshrouded the joviality
that the golden chariot gifts the world.

The Thunderbird sobbed on the loss of it's partner.
It's heavy bloodshot tears fell down, like poisoned arrows on the Earth.
The waters imbued in sorrows and swelled cumbersome,
spitting scary venom wrath towards the shores.

The gale howled, raging yowls of despair.

Then the tempest followed through in all its glory,

while the Thunderbird wept in agony...
