Moses stood before the seas, and with great fervour
commanded them to part.
And Trevor stood, upon highest mountain,
staring at clouds and the Sun,
and likewise, commanded their time.
His hands bristle, his fingertips crackle,
his mouth a snarled bite of determination,
his eyes nearly closed in concentration
and sheer will, he grunts as his knees buckle
as his feet plant like roots into crisp snow,
his elbows creak, his fingers like rays of light
puncturing upwards instead of towards,
the Earth trembling, realising the power
contained within a single figure upon its surface.
Trevor’s grunt elongated, arms rising alongside head,
staring now at fictitious heavens.
Guttural, primal screams percolate in wind pipe
and are thrown forth into the sky,
echoing like cracks of thunder
that have come spewing from grey, furious, wool.
His back splinters,
neck entwined with fury coursing throughout nerves and muscles as they bend
and ripple.
Trevor’s voice becomes a long, drawn out scream,
coating the twisted dark azure that threatens
to crush. His voice swallowing electrical bolts,
attempts from Zeus to retain his title
as most powerful god.
But Trevor solidifies.
He has come too far, and he is so close,
and even if it kills him,
even if this is just some fools errand,
some cockamamie plan,
some impractical madness,
he will see it to whomever ends first.
Arched back now straight, legs locked and rigid,
arms outstretched and clawing for the stars above
he is silent for a brief shining moment,
and the world returns the action
as if holding its own breath to see what happens,
before a cry of elation that pulses outwards
over every being, land, planet, star, galaxy and universe;
subsuming all realities.
He tumbles to the floor, wheezing, shivering,
tears of success rolling in streams down his face,
freezing as the mountainous air touches every drop.
He knows he did it, he doesn’t need to check,
to find someone in the village at the base,
to grab a calendar, or call the atomic clock,
he feels it throughout his worn out body.
He had the drive,
he had the will,
he had the belief,
and he was rewarded infinitely.
