hi, this is poem written by my sweet daughter -ASHWATHI, after the Tsunami. THE FURY OF NATURE In the heat of the night, When the moon was full, And pure white; I heard him cry loudly, Into the silence of the night. A day when the world was shattered, Broken into fragments, Not by narrow-minded sectarians, But by the fury of Nature…. The very Nature that had given us, Everything for a wholesome life, Nurtured us past generations, Like a caring mother, A synonym of love. But that disastrous day, She shattered those very lives, She had once made happy, Without a warning… I walked up to him, A young lad, whose face, Was buried in his palms, Now sobbing quietly to himself. I gently touched him, He looked up but said nothing, But stared at me intently, For a long time, scrutinizing, My peaceful pallor; At last he cried out,” How could you do it?” I will PM you my daughter's name, my tel no & mail-id, if you are interested, friends !
Hi Sudha, Your daughter's poem was quite touching. Through her description about Nature she brings out its creative and also its devastating nature. Ask her to keep writing. Rgds, Malathi
