She Stands Alone
Her warm caress
Can soothe you,
Her gentle sway
Can hypnotise you,
Her stillness
Can empty your mind,
Till you forget her very existence.
But she may remind you,
Occasionally.
With pounding waves,
With beating winds,
She can light the sky
In an instant,
She can command the earth
To swallow you whole,
She gives life,
She takes life,
She stands alone.
Mother of all,
Daughter of none.

Ahh, yes...
Mother Nature. She can craddle you in her warmth, or freeze you with coldness. She can dampen your spirits with a rainy day, or destroy your life with the fury of a storm.
Mother Nature! Friend and tyrant!
This is one of your most powerful pieces yet. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work, David. Good job!
