Heart of the Tempest

Why are the mortals so demanding?

Why do they cry for blood spilled in the heart of a tempest?

A storm has no blood to spill,
just the force to spill it.

But a mortal with the heart of a tempest,
that is a different beast altogether.

They cannot understand the mortal weakness;
cannot empathize with it.

They do cry for it;
cry for the blood swirling through the depths
many decades;
cry for the blood spillt by their own hand.

They cannot help but to slosh the lifeblood
of their kin and themselves.

A tempest must swirl,
and one's heart is no exception.
