I've found a friend in nature
although nature could turn on me
if i'm out and about in a storm
and its lightning strikes me
if a tidal wave sweeps me far out to sea
or a poisonous snake takes a bite of me
if a tornado twirls me high into the sky
yes, the irony is that nature which
i find so enchanting
could one day cause my demise

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Yes, but we are part of the Whole and humanity has treated Nature with little respect causing thus many disasters that could have been avoided.

Ancestral fear haunts us ... and you express this powerfully.

We are strong and fragile at the same time, bound and linked to All there is.

Our Mother Earth with its core of fire is very much alive and every now and then she must release her power. Matter is exposed to constant change ... but our material demise does not affect our spirit/soul.

Love,
Margherita

I like! A point well made.  Many things we love can become the death of us.
