"Nature's own work"

Its amazing how lethal life can be

The sky sheds its tears

The animals run for cover

As the storm ends some wildlife's years

it beckons more to discover

The leaves are sliced with fury

As a tornado begins to form

This time of night vision is blurry

but its certainly the norm

As boulders start to tumble

they lay waste to life below

Dark trials make one humble

though it isn't a pleasant show

The tornado move quickly through water

it shook things in its wake

As the fish added to the slaughter

you couldn't fathom the word fake

But who saw this event unfold?

Why? it was you..

Perched in your safe strong hold

A great poem describing the storm aptly in vivid and positive light too. Also featuring on the loss yeah. If u meant God in the stronghold hmm well He did us a great favour creating us and giving us enjoyment too while we do the test of life to deserve eternal life in heaven, hope u understand poet. So kudos for the impressive rhyming.

A brilliant poem, again. I loved the detail of the sky and I was impressed by the detail. As always, keep going. :-)

Nature is indeed a spectacle. Nature instructs and nourishes, even through storms; cleansing the land, nourishing crops, feeding streams for fish and game. And, yet she's deadly, even for the sheltered spectator, if not wise or humble. You've left the reader with some impressive images adn messages here. Nice work, Corey.
