I breathe in sharp breaths 
Chest rising then falls
Heart beating as fast
As this cyclonic squall
It's the waiting you see
That makes my mind race
It's the ever unknowing
 South East Queenslanders 
face
Mother nature holds vengeance
Maybe for all the wrongs we have done
She will hold us to account
Till her damage is done
Once we feel long waited calm
 Mother nature's at peace
For our moment in time 
Her destruction shall cease.
As we start to assess 
and the clean ups begun
Alfred's fear becomes memories
With the warmth of the sun.
