A rumble, a roll, a roar
She’s making her presence known
I hear you but, no she’s not finished
She has more to say
Pay heed, she has more to say
You dare question her arrival lest she should consume you
She is greater than you, and I
She is life. She is death.
She feeds us. She starves us.
She cradles us. She tears us apart.
She is greater than you and I
A deafening clasp, a dancing flash
No, she’s not finished, for you don’t let her
You test her temper and tempt her fury
Pay heed, and you will feel her wrath
Pay heed, and you will feel her warmth
Pay heed child for she is Mother.
