Nature's Fury

Mercy of the Storm

Sirens blare as the wind begins to whip and pull

In a deafening roar fit for a fierce lion.

Lightning pierces a furious sky so black and full

Elephantine pounding across the horizon.

Nothing caught in its treacherous path will remain.

Chaos slithers and lies quiet in the ruins

Eerie and still and heavy with shattering pain.

About the Creator

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
