Fredrick 1979

I am here
I am angry
I am attacking
I want to kill you
shaking the house
ripping up trees
blowing out windows
irresistible glory
had to watch
never be the same

I am here
I am undefeated
I am awesome
I am beautiful

I am gone
I am dying
I will be back
I have many names
shook the house
ripped up trees
blew out windows
irresistible glory
had to watch
never be the same

He was here
He was undefeated
He was awesome
He was beautiful

For: Regina Riddle's contest

Wonderful images. I endured one hurricane during the time I lived in southern Louisiana. One was enough for me.
