Hi Mom

An Ode

Weather is poised to slap us into submission.

Threatening with the largest storm in history

To make us aware of her power to destroy

And yet, here on the cusp of history, 

battened down

well stocked

Do I yet love Nature

With all of her wild and beautiful ways.

Her seas have been there for me in my times

Of Loss

And Need

Ever showing me the vastness of her being

She has ever been the Way

In all her present tense

My wilder spirit rises in answer to her challenges

Enhancing my life daily.

Mother has a way with her discipline eh?

Mumma Nature! Oh how majestic and powerful is she!
And we shall rue the days that we did not heed,
through the course of histories her wisdom feeds.
