Refuge from the storm

Mother nature casts down the trees 

Thunder chuckles, cackling with glee 

Playing a round of dominos 

With the roots that were my home 

Mother nature pours down rain 

The sorrow and sadness flooding homes and hearts 

We flee 

Where her vengeful gaze can no longer find us 

Leaves mix and meddle in the froth 

Dancing atop their safety net 

Driftwood embarks on a journey out deep 

Mimicking our search for safety 

Hearts beat in sync 

With the waves 

With each other 

With the seagull's wings 

Mother nature holds out a hand 

We learnt the lesson she taught 

Strands of seaweed wave goodbye 

We leave the comfort we had sought
