The sea is angry;

The winds echo her screaming—

The hurricane comes…

Torrential waves

Carry furry to the shores:

Fragility doomed…

Island paradise,

Poised and ready for combat;

Nature’s sad beauty…

Nature lashing out—

An unwanted canvassing

Of hurricane grief:-

The calm sea rippling...

Lifeless bodies floating death

The storm moves onward.

Thanks, I Am Anaya. May we remain steadfast in the midst of the hurricanes of both nature herself, as well as those of human nature that confronts us daily. ONE. Peace and Love.
