Landslide

here

it is

hidden inside

it gathers

momentum
sliding and slipping
slowly at first

pebbles scattering quickly
shaken loose by passing tremors
bouncing aimlessly in the wake of it

collecting companions, they continue onward
ever increasing in speed and solidarity rushing
becoming a force far mightier together, joining in chaos
destruction imminent as the drifting dirt and rock and dross
charge over anything and everything lying in wait, destroying the peace
taking over it all, creating the destruction of all that was known

and leaving just

waste

Hm.
Just a thought: Landslides also tend to leave a changed landscape that's significantly more stable than the semblance of stability prior to the slide.
