Twister

Funnel of hell

formed by currents of air,

it rises and grows,

blotting out the sun.

It rushes blindly ahead

like a lumbering beast

seeking relief from pain!



And in its madly provoked flight

to infinity,

it considers nothing!



And, like all nature's threats,

this, too, is short lived.



But, oh my God!

Such power... such ferocity

in its brief span of life

seeking death!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have never witnessed a tornado in real life except through the eyes of someone else's camera... and I never wish to.
