There is a certain beauty to destruction;

Lightning strikes

In your skies,

You almost wish to fry.

Clouds rolling close,

Closer yet;

The sound

Of the thunder

Is the spoken invitation.

But even the sky cries

Whilst wreaking havoc

Because the tree that once stood proud

Is felled,

Expelled, from the earth

Roots shredded.

From ashes to ashes

Like a phoenix

The leaves rise

Grasping for something bright,

A light;

To begin anew.

Only a few

remain.
