Changing Sky

Seasons spread its wrath on delicate land, across changing sky to deep choppy seas. Churning up vast ocean white sand; still ignoring man’s prayerful pleas. Across changing sky to deep choppy seas, calamity strikes hard and fast. Still ignoring man’s prayerful pleas; do not destroy so much we asked. Calamity strikes hard and fast, leaving destruction and death on its course. Do not destroy so much we asked; be gentle with your force. Leaving destruction and death on its course; churning up vast ocean white sand. Be gentle with your force; seasons spread its wrath on delicate land. Copyright © 2013 By Caryl S.

Made me imagine mankind as a vast ocean flowing, twirling to and fro, being pushed and shoved in directions we do not know. An excellent poem, with plenty of imagination. I invite you to critique my recent poem: "The Heritage That Wrought Hate," thanks!
