MAGICAL NATURE

poem by: Cecilia Crasto
Written on Aug 07, 2016

She howls with the wind and dances with fire
She kindles the flames on the funeral pyre
With ribbons of gold she streaks the sky
And sheds her tears on land that is dry

She tramples the wheat so lush in the field
And nurtures the corn to a golden yield
She spreads her tentacles far and wide
Stirs up tsunamis and ebbs with the tide

She scales the mountain and tears it apart
Spews out its lava and rips out its heart
She rides the waves of a stormy sea
And colors the leaves of the Autumn tree

She lights the stars to shimmer the sky
And blows away storms that linger on high
With a single stroke she weaves her magic
And turns to joy what once was tragic

Princes and paupers to her they're the same
She casts them aside with haughty disdain
The decisions she makes are hers alone
She reigns supreme from her lofty throne.
