Water, Sticks and Bark
By Tara I
Published 24 September 2024
Dust gone like the wind in the blink of an eye
Leaves becoming paper shreddings born from nothing but air and wood
Sticks, bark and branches become the thunder of its earth
The seas tell stories of their struggles and their strain
Wind flowing and flying far beyond the fray
Mother Nature’s anger ruins her creations
A cave's water traces tears down its face at its feet
Tc
Tc
Tc
Creating as it destroys
Tears become rivers, falls and all in between
Creatures fill the airy silence with their whistles
Or their calls, their screeches or cries
Would we rather this over never seeing it again?
