Hands Of Nature

Refreshing warmth surrounds me as I walk
Kind hands of clouds and wind lead me on adventures
Their sky so impeccable it goes unnoticed
Yet the delicate balance is held on by a thread
Angry tides of uncontrollable tears rush around me
Slippery hands of water and debris grab my ankles
They run through the land, taking everything in their path
The dangerous waves continuously knock me backwards
Harsh surges of unbearable heat abruptly hit my body
Scorching hands of flame and ash reach out to touch me
Their light radiates into my eyes and reflects onto my skin
I feel my lungs suffocate with the sharpness of their smoke
Never-ending parched plains crumble under my feet
Shrivelled hands of dirt and dust extend toward me for help
Desperate for hydration, they tremble with weakness
The silence of nature is deafening
