When Mother Nature Goes Out for a Run

When Mother Nature goes out for a run,
she doesn’t cause a lot of fun.

Exercising her prodigious powers
stirs up more than bunnies, birds and flowers.

More than tornadoes, bad as they can be –
more than a flood’s catastrophe –

her drumming feet can cause a greater shake
than in the Earth: they’ll also quake

your heart: can make you feel you’re through.
Despair is part of Nature, too.
