As we damage our planet in so many ways, nature fights back as we fail to listen to her warnings .
The lightning cleft the sky apart
turning momentarily night to day.
Enormous forks cleaving the heavens
whilst sheets scatter the clouds.
Uprooting trees as it strikes and
setting some on fire to blaze away.
While animals and birds cower
tucked away in their little havens.
Crashing thunder rings out as
clouds clash one against another.
Furiously they heavens fight this night,
one could believe the old gods are warring.
Bellowing down their collective furies
with rain hitting hard as hail stones.
Right overhead the noise most deafening
as nature shows again her awesome power.
Slowly so slowly the lightning fades
and the rains lessen in their intensity.
The clouds start to part as stars appear
and the moon regally sails through clear skies.
Peace now returns to earth and heavens,
yet the scars are plainly left behind.
A reminder not to take nature lightly
or else suffer her awesome fury.
