Tornado
The Earth stands still
Silence that feels surreal
Peculiar humming, haunting light
No warning, no watch
Not aware of what’s in sight
Conscious to the eerie calm of the night
I never saw it coming
I never felt like running
Winds of change were in the air
Tainted heart, tarnished love
Preexisting conditions were already there
The calm before the storm arising everywhere
An unforeseen force shifts my balance
Directly towards me without malice
So fast I didn’t know what hit me
Confused clouds, flashing lights
Arising at the speed of sound unable to flee
Confined in its path, unwilling to break free
Twisting and plummeting me to a perilous height
Hoping to survive the dark of the night
An obsession with risk I couldn’t let go
Whistling winds, drowned out screams
Letting go of the only security I’ve ever known
Swept away in the spiraling magic of the unknown
Powerful and strong winds carrying me away
Praying for each new day
To be lost in the force of its embrace
Beautiful strength, gentle peace
The eye of the storm, a moment of grace
Tranquility that time can’t erase
The ground no longer shakes
Hearts subject to break
Nothing in sight to catch my fall
Healing wounds, welcomed scars
Sorting through the debris at the wailing wall
Nothing to salvage but a damaged rag doll
Destroyed a canvas that was tired and worn
Don’t close your eyes you are about to be reborn
Painting a new masterpiece over the rainbow
Promised hope, raining blessings
Eruption of rebirth like a volcano
Rebuilt for the better when love is a tornado
Love love love this!
Thanks Holly!! I can’t wait to see you again!
