Image: tornado strengthening shortly
after touching down (here)
sky, bush, stillness, subtle, salt,
web, mouth, eyes, careful, stained
nature awakened with harrowing scenes
sky darkened in many localized routines
both dwellings and bush with lots in ruins
stillness so subtle rubbing salt to the skin
rain-lashed coastlines by forceful hurricanes
floods and tornadoes brought misery inland
heavens disturbed and for a few days reigned
web of intrigues and unimpeded restrains
gaping mouths shocking to say the least
eyes closed lost and not expecting a feast
careful to rein-in the madness and pain
unwittingly stained but confidence regained
divine help to appease was much obvious
Providence showed wrongs in our choice
No dope to numb the thinking process
Or a swan-song with no room to protest
MMT at Whirligig #391
Powerful.
