Back Into the Sky

The silver clouds
Turn black as night
In an instant
Green makes its way within
A churning flow
Creating fear about
Then the rotation of the clouds
Form the greatest
Tornado
A giant massive form
That moves slowly across the land
Leaving terror
And destruction all about
The darkness
Still moves in circles
Pulling the earth within it
It gets closer
And closer
Until right before me
It dissipates
Leaving me alone
In front of the mess
That it made
The touch of wind
As it broke apart and lifted
The tornado flew up
Back into the sky
I felt it
~~Poof~~
