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
