Tsunami
AMONGST THE RIDING OF THE WINDS
AND METOPHORIC CLOUDS
NATURE'S OWN HAS BROUGHT TO HER
CALAMITY PROFOUND!
THIS DARK DESPAIR ON HUMAN RACE
FROM RAGING TIDAL WAVES
A MOURNING MOTHER'S HANDS THAT BEAR
THE SADNESS OF HER FACE
tHE EARTH STANDS STILL FOR JUST A WHILE
THE BIRDS THEY TAKE TO FLIGHT
NO LONGER CAN THIS ISLAND SMILE
FOR THEM THERE IS NO LIGHT
OH! SOLITUDE HAS COME TO THEM
IN JUST ONE MOMENT FEAR!
WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE OF THEIR SOULS AMONGST A POOL OF TEARS.
