May 2014
It started just like any other normal day
Parents at work,  children at play
Then in the distance a rumble was heard
As if by magic the sky clears of birds
I look up and to my horror I see
A seething ***** grey white mass bearing down on  me
AVALANCHE
Hurricane force winds now smash things aside
There will be little shelter for those who survive
Then like a demon it strikes with the force of a bomb
Trees, boulders,  ice and snow
For many trapped now an icy cold tomb
A few hours ago people were playing up there
But the side of the mountain has been swept clean and bare
Why did they build the village down there?
Could they challenge nature, did they really care?
All to often we challenge her might
And now another village has been swept out of sight
AVALANCHE
