........Silent as a large peaceful ocean,
........Kind as an Angel's heart,
........And often as gentle as a lamb,
........At other times it is cruel and ugly,
........As a dark black hole with endless mystery,
........Loud as the noise of a thunder with more fear,
........Careless and destructive as the heart of a de***
........Nature can create indescribable damage for anyone at any time,
........Nature can be the most beautiful thing in the world,
........Nature is like chameleon, changing faces instantly.
