Hurricane Michael Oct.2018 Poem by Savita Tyagi

It is so quiet here after few night's of rains.
Even the breeze blows today without a whisper.
Overriding the calm face of Nature, wrapped
In blissful silence, my thoughts wander upon
Beaches of Florida.

The astonishing images of horrific rampage against
Restive view of my backyard press in awe upon mind.
So terrifying to imagine life and livelihood
Of that area destroyed by Nature's wrath.

The fierce power of nature hurling hurricane and
Tornadoes destroyed every thing along its way.
The world that we call our own, like every thing
Here owned by us, lies crushed and rumbled in
Matter of seconds.

Hurricane Michael goes down in history as
The worst disaster hitting the American soil.
A reminder of Nature's supremacy challenging
Human pride and arrogance in a menacing violent
stroke of one black night.

I stare quietly in my yard rich with greenery
Silvery sunshine spreads a message of hope
My thoughts waver between grief and gratitude.
