Changing Sky

Seasons spread its wrath on delicate land,
across changing sky to deep choppy seas.
Churning up vast ocean white sand;
still ignoring man’s prayerful pleas.  

Across changing sky to deep choppy seas,
calamity strikes hard and fast. 
Still ignoring man’s prayerful pleas;
do not destroy so much we asked.

Calamity strikes hard and fast,
leaving destruction and death on its course.  
Do not destroy so much we asked;
be gentle with your force.

Leaving destruction and death on its course;
churning up vast ocean white sand.
Be gentle with your force;
seasons spread its wrath on delicate land.

Made me imagine mankind as a vast ocean flowing, twirling to and fro, being pushed and shoved in directions we do not know. An excellent poem, with plenty of imagination. I invite you to critique my recent poem: "The Heritage That Wrought Hate," thanks!
