Super Storm Sandy by Aussie
Poem of the Month contest entry

Satellite watched her swirl
Sandy lifted her skirts
Danced with delight
Tonight, would be her night

Be afraid, New York, be afraid
Sandy beckoned; rise seas, rise!
Poseidon rang his bell
Raised his Trident from hell

How small you are New York
How tiny in the face of terror
Never before - such wrath
Think you know it all?

Man cannot make the weather slave
Change it's face or gain control
His attempts to rule have failed
Only God can change it's face.

The rich and the poor have suffered
Homes smashed to toothpicks
Washed away in the blink of an eye
Forceful Sandy danced her way.

Don't forget the animals either
Remember the horror to follow
Man is wailing now, so insignificant
In the hand of God.

My heart goes out to you
Across the seas so far
You will rebuild your homes
Find your strength again.

Sandy is a warning, just think
The hand of God sometimes gentle
Can wreak havoc on the weak
He is the Alpha and Omega.

At His name all will bow
Time is coming when all men
Will suffer - good or bad
Hang on to your faith.

For faith is all you have
Build your treasures in heaven
Where moth and rust does not corrupt
Be simple, kind and understanding.

For the darkness will be light
Sandy is a warning - more will follow
Watch and pray as Jesus said
You know not when the Son of Man comes.

Author Notes
Dreadful storm Sandy - we watch America and the devastation; we pray for all those that have lost loved ones, homes, animals. We thank God for the small miracles amongst the loss. We all need to acknowledge that God controls the Universe, we are but grains of sand on His beach of life. Free style verse.
