Incoming Floods Poem by Dr Avinash Dal

Get to the highlands
Fast approaches the wave!
Get to the highlands
Fast approaches the wave!
Logs afloat like waving hands
"You, there! Your life you save! "

Gushing across the rift
Plastering everything to the floor
In a, movement so swift
And a thundering roar

Standing there I watched
Mesmerised by beauty
Of raw power and pride
Nature in all its majesty

No danger I perceived
From the oncoming gush
Only as Death neared
The resignation to time's flush
