Natural Beauty, Natural Fury

by Lalli

 

 

 

Quickly comforted by a painted picture

Acres upon acres

An endless green sea has captivated me

 

Fields of green

Naturally grown in rows

Sway with the waves of the wind

Gently brushed

The tops slightly bend

Caressing each blade the wind makes the grass sway

 

Just think,

Gods Natural Beauty

As Inspiration flows freely

Ohhh…

Sweet Serenity

 

Only to be distracted by tornado destruction

Driving through a city that I saw on TV

But the devastation does not compare to the images

I saw flashing across the screen

The reality hit hard of the people’s homes caught in between

 

It was Gods Natural Fury

That destroyed this town

Scattering debris from roof tops torn to shambles

Brick buildings turned to rubble

And trees

Stripped of their leaves

 

How quickly it changed

The contrast

Can not be explained

 

So I try to erase it

I try to replace it

Remembering the peacefulness

Generated by the fields of green

With thoughts of sweet serenity
