Birds are quiet as lightening flashes.
All is dark as the thunder crashes.
The ocean swells with waves that soar.
Crashing down as they meet the shore.

Rivers rise and move much faster.
On their way to cause disaster.
Powerful winds to make trees fall.
Uprooting them the ones so tall.

Creeks will flow at a deadly speed.
Knowledge of man they will not heed.
The wrath of Nature has now begun.
She will not stop till her battle is won.

Houses are flattened left in her wake.
All in her path she’s determined to take.
Her power released she is relentless.
People know they are defenceless.

An inner strength they fight in vain.
They know deep down she’ll come again.
Nature’s power we cannot master.
Sadly again she’ll cause a disaster.
