the fury of nature

hi, this is poem written by my sweet daughter -ASHWATHI, after the Tsunami.


THE FURY OF NATURE

In the heat of the night,
When the moon was full,
And pure white;
I heard him cry loudly,
Into the silence of the night.

A day when the world was shattered,
Broken into fragments,
Not by narrow-minded sectarians,
But by the fury of Nature….

The very Nature that had given us,
Everything for a wholesome life,
Nurtured us past generations,
Like a caring mother,
A synonym of love.

But that disastrous day,
She shattered those very lives,
She had once made happy,
Without a warning…
I walked up to him,
A young lad, whose face,
Was buried in his palms,
Now sobbing quietly to himself.

I gently touched him,
He looked up but said nothing,
But stared at me intently,
For a long time, scrutinizing,
My peaceful pallor;

At last he cried out,” How could you do it?”

I will PM you my daughter's name, my tel no & mail-id, if you are interested, friends !

Hi Sudha,
Your daughter's poem was quite touching. Through her description about Nature she brings out its creative and also its devastating nature. Ask her to keep writing.

Dear Sudha,
