Twister
As the wind starts to spin
Blowing everything from without and within
Damaging property in it’s path
Getting this and missing that
The sirens blare in alert
It starts to gain power and thirst
Cycling faster and faster
Picking up sound a pending disaster
Everyone and everything is running for shelter
Underground getting out of the weather
First a silence than a roar
As it shakes and rattles the floor
In the bathtub you must hide
To stay put is suicide
Nothing is safe from its power
Choosing what to destroy and devour
Pulls a tree out of the ground
Grabs it and spins it around
Throws it far and wide
As it moves through the sky
Destruction is all it knows
As the energy grows
Then it is gone in a flash
The beauty of the rainbow at last
