Eruption

Eruption came
No warning
Dust, ashes, debris blanketed all
Day turned night before its time
Colors drained to shades of gray
Brilliant sun turned hazy moon

My body shuttered
Cold air enveloped me
My cliff collapsed
nearly submerged 

Surrounded by sea
Alone adrift 
I searched for you

Nature destroys
But she rebirths recycles renews
Will life return as normal?
Will I see friends
family again?
I didn’t value what I had

Now I lost it

If sun returns to day
If gray reverts to rainbow hues
If reunited with you
I’ll hold precious 
All I love
All I have
Never take anything
for granted again

– Shelley Lowell
