Winters Wrath

Outside the rain hammers against the window pane
Trees sway against the strength of their enemy
They reach to the earth, bending under the strain
One uproots, no longer the ageless sentry

Rubbish and leaves fly around, carried by the wind
In towns across the land people huddle inside
A hurricane was forecast, blowing away bins
From winters wrath, nothing can hide

On the coast, the seas rise in fury
Hitting land in its anger it does make
They drown everything, destruction its story
The stormy sea leaves nothing in its wake

A man struggles to cross the road
The fury of nature does push him back
He’s sure the storm laughs at him, goads
In the sky from blue to black

Animals run for shelter and huddle way
A dog barks at the sky, a warning
The wrath of Mother nature is here to stay
A new age in infancy is dawning

The signs are everywhere for all to see
But most are ignored, laughed at by great minds
Nature will rise and have her revenge to be
Against all who abuse her gift of life, humankind
