Within the blue depths

She slumbers gently

In rippling, shimmering water

the wind dances gently upon its surface.

Her arms reach up through its delicate veil

Legs landing soundlessly on the viridian grass

When tempestuous her rage waxes uncontrollable

Heating the distorted water around her

Bringing furious, hot glass blisters

The swell grows and rises, gushing

Out of the fertile forest

Into the vast patchwork fields

Enveloping village, town and person

Trapped within its beautiful, suffocating folds

Appais' anger smothers the land

"following Notos' careless winds out to sea"

Then recedes to her shores once again
