Nighttime Paradox

Nighttime Paradox

Hideous tornadoes have moved on this night, 
Storm clouds still flashing in the east,
Fireflies flickering, sparkling, skimming devastation
As if they claim the title of stars,
Mocking skies where barely seen in heavens play.
Tears fall for neighbors’ losses;
Tears fall for gratitude for being spared this dark night,
To watch and walk among the lovely fluttering fireflies.

Paradoxes, indeed! Storms sweep through leaving a wake of devastation but still beauty gives some hope.
