Earth Moments: The Mighty Poem by Sophia White

The water roars as it spills
From the high and rocky cliff
It echoes through me
I am ready for anything.

The cavern’s maw swallows me
I pass through rock and stone
Direction useless
The cave is an endless abyss
Where will it take me?

The sea rears up like a beast
It sees me on the shore
It lunges forward – falls
Against the sand
And I am safe.

I see the mountain towering
For a moment, fear
Then I wish to hug
The great grandfatherly thing
Alas, I am too small!

The storm falls upon me
Lightning cracking,
Thunder rolling, rain falling
The electric air sizzles
I laugh with the thrill.
