Tornado

Tornado A tornado stirs the earth Thunder roars a deafening roar The sky darkens and widens Picking up wind and speed The cite of an angry, dark cloud Town and city—ravaged Civilization left in ruins Debris collects and pile on Dust and ash collect in the wind A blinding sight Glass shatter Schools, homes and hospitals shaken Roofs collapse Cars take to the air Soaked and jammed are their parts Trees yanked from the root A sharp clamorous cry from the survived Deafening and startling are their sighs Fragments of life left behind Specks of green leaves and brown twigs Coincide the black and gray gloom of this moment in time Fresh blood and open wounds A graveyard under the sky A morsel of faith persist Gravity falls upon the frail A particular discipline and command to resist and to release fear and uncertainty Trembling, the air cool after the storm Marckincia Jean Narrative 09/11/19
