Tornadoes


Whipping wind withers the land Stealing sands, solid walls, and stages Cycling air spin everywhere Claiming all it encounters A house, a school, and children When will the twisted turns end? Burnt into the ground Grasping, grinding suddenly no sound Across a plain once bound Scattered winds Leave stolen sound. Now a world is quiet. A helping hand May restore items, but the lives taken Must forever live in memory.
