The Vortex

The firmament's still calm rescinds. Thrashes out gloomy storm whirlwinds. Lightening flashes striking on high. Ring out wild bells to the wild sky. A funnel forms, living peril. The atmosphere going feral, Horrific whirring sings its cry. Ring out wild bells to the wild sky. No glockenspiel or carillon Chimes to calm winds blowing on. The heavens fiercely gone awry Ring out wild bells to the wild sky. Devastation claiming its course, Havoc wrecked with horrible force. The vortex passed; some men sigh. Ring out wild bells to the wild sky. Man, soon, rebuilds destructions path. Forgiving nature of its wrath. And celebrates each hope's outcry. Ring out wild bells to the wild sky.

This was an awesome write on a tornado. Anyone who has ever lived in tornado alley has at one time or another lived through the fear one of those brings when it comes a little too close to home, or maybe even strikes your home. Thanks for sharing!
