Ripple in our Lives

I am writing this after the effect of Tsunamis on many a life on our shores caught suddenly unawares as Mother Nature unleashed her powerful stroke.
We feel so insignificant and helpless against a force of nature and yet in our everyday walk of life, very few of us respect this.

A Ripple in our Lives

Caressing our shores with its every breath,
none knew about its sudden kiss of death,
many, many just saw churning waters rushing
like a stiff stick they stood, not reacting
as we mourn friends, family and strangers
as we attempt to help alongside our army rangers
the world standing beyond our shores
witnessing the impact of this nature’s force
while we can only dread what future holds,
wakening us to respect nature as it unfolds
we are only atoms, a speck, nothing.
universe the stage, with planets revolving
eternally in a cycle of life and extinction
evolving with false predictions
as we come to terms with our insignificance
in the grand scheme of our universe’s parlance
we can only look Up with tenet
and protect we will, our planet.
