Mother Nature

The sun shone down its magic On such a perfect day The liquid gold is shimmering On waves that hide a tale The water sits too silent With memories of its own The dolphins breaking surface Tell us we’re not alone. Waves that have been forming They knock against the brow Is it a welcome calling? Or a warning of its power? The boat is moving forward Propelling through the waves The waters are now sleepy After such a huge long day. It’s peaceful in its slumber The surface is like ice Its belly holds the memories Of times it was not nice When life is unimportant When anger ruled the way The many lives it’s taken No mercy to this day No man has come to tame it She’s totally in control A source of magic moments A source of fear untold She will offer you her beauty Her wild and rugged soul Teach you her simple harmony Spray you with the cold She will offer you her jewels But never give her heart Will share with you her playground And show you works of art Without a second thought then Her calm can be undone Waves of lashing fury Brings fear to everyone White fingers on the wave tips Grab to snatch at prey Its curling claws of angry waves Snarl and end the day She wants to teach a lesson To show she’s in control Don’t fool with Mother Nature Respect her world….always.
