Primordial Shift

In the silent calm;
Can you feel it in the air?
Feel it in your bones?
That gnawing trepidation.
Terror not from fear but truth.
Beyond the mind’s eye,
one could never comprehend;
what has always been;
the primordial; the old.
Something primal standing there.
Inspiration for the Poem:
The below image titled “Primal Shift” inspired the Tanka poem above. I decided to revisit this image and write a Tanka poem for it.
