She lets out a mighty breath <br />Her waves growing in intensity <br />Undulating smoothly <br />She washes the shoreline <br />Gently receding <br />Above her <br />Sky has grown ominous, sinister <br />Clouds twisting, writhing <br />Rolling over and spreading <br />Creating a vacuum <br />Forcing waves to monstrous proportions <br />The beauty of the storm <br />Is lost on the plateau <br />Below her <br />As trees are torn <br />Relentlessly dispatched in flight <br />Nothing and no one <br />Is safe <br />As all the forces of nature <br />Take over and consume <br />All that is in their path<br /><br />Nancy E Alcorn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nature-engaged/
