Volcano

It is time, it is time they called
as they gathered belongings to go,
the angry mountain was fuming
and threatened the people below.

They took possessions and fled
away from the valley of death,
to escape the molten lava
and the mountains acrid breath.

They thought the Gods were angry
`twas all they could comprehend,
for they were plain simple folk
but knew their world would end.

Then red hot pent up magma
getting ready now to blow,
the volcano spewed it`s worse
and covered the valley below.

It was this big part of nature
which folk did not understand,
for blackened burned out ashes
was all that was left of their land.

what tragedies are caused by nature!

Nature can be so beautiful, but it can also wreck havoc on people's lives. It is so hard for any of us to understand. Thanks for a very thought provoking poem, willow.
