Peace, The Only Survivor Poem by Sasivellat Menon

On a fine summer evening
Clouds from nowhere gathered
Darkening the place all over
The clashes of larger clouds
Echoed on earth as thunder
Friction cause to form lightning
With the power to burn the earth
An atmosphere sure would create
Frightening moments to all
Suddenly heavy downpour started
Alarmingly combined with wind
Windows banged, trees tilted
As if they would fall apart
It goes on for a span of time
Then peace and silence
As if nothing has happened
Freshening the earth up
And all living things in it
It is the nature’s way of telling
Only peace will survive at the end.
