Poetry from within
   

Tumultuous Torrent


The river of mud slid at speed

Carving its way down the mountain side

Full of lust, of power and greed

It spewed its guts in an enveloping tide,

Of devastation; a land sucking parasite,

Crumbling bridges and uprooting trees

Blackening; smashing out the light

Natures' dark side, the only spirit it frees.


Jan Hedger
