The Funnel

Clear blue bliss calmly gazing in tinted hazy summer charm,
Cars are moving, music playing.

Sudden dim, turns into shade the flatland horizon in fear I gaze
the wall of death that chaos unknown, mothers nature's touch 
Well known.

The cold breeze shunt my view at hand 
The recipe is right, when your in this land.
 
this honey-trap, this leap of faith has left these towns with much at stake
That twisted column of  water and dust, of building, of people 
Much loved in much trust. 

these mobile beacons of unknown reason silhouette the sketch of death.

In it's path those temples of humanity, those monuments of duty passed,
sitting like a anchor of hope in the path of the giants choke. 

The innocence of nature has executed it's instinct and shown reminder of 
mankind's weakness. 

And all is gone by a funnel of ash, siren ringing aloud in terror 
Destruction ended....here comes another.

Strong fearful imagery, for someone in tornado alley. Well done Paul...
