Burning Force


Universe with burning stars so bright,
twinkling, shooting across the sky,
mysteriously brilliantly glowing light,
staring in reverence wondering why.

Just a mere speck upon the ground,
a particle of dust blowing in the air,
oblivious to the power which surrounds,
causing devastation without a single care.

Creating its balance, negligence of will,
seeing no consequences, only its needs,
sadly losing insight, creating a cold chill,
nature overpowers taking us to our knees.

Held hostage, our social structure shattered,
nowhere to escape from the place of our birth
nature fury in control, leaving all a tattered,
in reality we are at the mercy of mother earth.

Power and might lost in a translucent maze,
where some are lost and others are captured,
mankind wandering sadly disoriented in a daze,
never comprehending nature’s timeless rapture.
