NATURE'S FURY

A Black cloud envelopes
a reddened sunrise,

Children stare in awe
as lightning reflects in their eyes,

The ocean beats the shore
with unbelievable might,

Whales beach themselves
in a sacrificial rite,

Mother Nature slits her wrists
and bathes the land,

While trees bow their branches
at the wind’s command,

After hours of anguish
normality resumes,

Refreshed and reborn...
Mother Nature licks her wounds.
