I walk past ravaged lands
A city of rumbling ruins
Wailing walls
And rifting earth
Into a grove of towering trees
Reticulated roots
Left no room
For catastrophe
When Man surrendered to sweet slumber
Birds resonated
Trees reverberated
The sound of nature's siren
Nature has no mercy
On unawakened senses
Man awoke
Into mortal time
Man sought to mend
The aging earth
To this end
Of a ravaged ruin

As a human one of my biggest fears is nature… it’s so powerful. Thank you for capturing but! Shout out to turkey!
Ya definitely Turkey and armies from neighouring countries are doing a great job in saving the country and its people..❤️
