Power of Nature!

By the shores of Lake Ontario

in the depth of a severely cold winter

frozen winds redecorate the houses

forming ice sculptures that glitter

as the fierce winds whip up the waves

covering this world in a layer of icing

encasing the surrounding buildings

like plaster, nature is sculpturing 

trees that take on an eerie existence

branches shrouded in dirty veils

distorted shapes through the storm

thrown around in these strong gales

when everything ceases, there`s silence

and stillness engulfs the whole area

nature`s destruction has stopped 

further wintry storms would be scarier
