Beauty and the Beast

Nature is beautiful, quiet, and serene, nature is the forest, with its many shades of green. Nature is the birds, welcoming in the dawn, nature is a calf, struggling to its feet as soon as it is born. Nature is a salmon, swimming against the stream, nature is a volcanic geyser, venting off steam. Nature is a beast, kicking up a storm, nature is the trees, all bent, and broken, looking so forlorn. Nature is lightning striking the ground, nature is a forest fire, consuming all around. Nature is a tornado, with its screaming roar, nature is a tidal wave, washing every thing ashore. Nature can be a beauty, and nature can be a beast.
