She was calmly sleeping, dreaming

While inside her shell, she was silently steaming

Dormant no longer, she awakens, and sighs

The fire grows stronger, as she opens her eyes

A rumbling sound, makes the earth quake and shutter

A roar from her, bellowing, in the wake of a sputter

Her fiery heart, can hold back no longer

As her anger grows deeper, ever stronger

She releases the demons, kept in her shell

Unleashing the fires, from the gates of hell
