Natural Disasters

Natural disasters; Inevitable phenomenons that, despite their justified existence, cause a universal sense of loss. They are unpreventable, and tend to be given a name. "Tsunami" is not enough. "Hurricane" is not enough. "Man" is not enough. 

I was natural, 

you were the disaster. 

I was the thunder, 

the downpour, 

the meadow,

the rising sun.

You were the spectator. 

The tourist. 

The wanderer, 

who took a photo, 

put it in your pocket,

and walked away. 

But I've come to learn

that the sunset does't loose it's spectacular glow, 

just because you stop looking.
