Quake Lakes

These natural disasters may seem tragic when we are faced with their day to day transformations but many years later they may appear as scenic beauties. I am not indifferent to the 1+ million people who have to be relocated and will lost their homes and their lifelong memories but when Mother Earth decides she wants back some land to allow for more water, there can be no stopping her. Get out the way and let it happen. One thing we know, sometimes she has remarkable taste, if not the best of timing.

Quickly filling up over 6 feet per day

Uncontrolled flooding is what forecasters say

And 1.6 million people would need evacuate

Kindred folk are forced to separate

Earthquake brought a mountain downhill

Lakes formed when rivers were dammed will soon spill

All their waters will cover miles around

Kindred folk are force to higher ground

Erosion or fault shifting carves our topography and makes

Scenic changes or geological sculpting like the laceName w:st="on">QuakelaceName> laceType w:st="on">LakeslaceType>
