Tornado
Flashes of light
in my sight.
Wind pours over me
The rain and rail
have just begun.
My life flashes
Before my eyes,
I run toward where
everyone cries.
Grabbing my belongings
only the most special,
the rest must get left behind.
Maybe I can replace them someday.
The windows shatter
the roof begins to
disappear.
The wind begins
to pull me away from everything
I know.
My last chance,
I jump into the storm shelter.
My friends and family
wait for me.
Nothing left to do,
but wait and
hope for the best,
So I can get back to
the life I know.
