The Unclear Manifestation of a Tornado
You were a tornado disguised as a breeze.
I was shocked, for I was used to the sun's rays of anger
that had haunted me by day
and could only be escaped by night.
No longer weary, I was at a newfound ease
The wind was
Calming, soothing, and gentle.
It was all I could want:
A breath of fresh air and new promise.
Within this breeze,
Flowers danced in the air and just for a second
Everything seemed so beautifully balanced.
Not too hot, not too cold,
It was just beautifully right.
It was refreshing
Not to worry about shielding myself
From the fiery raging rays
That had blinded my young eyes,
And had tensed my skin.
But without the sun,
Clouds appeared, and suddenly
The wind got rougher.
And before you know it
The flowers had collapsed
And I was in the air,
spinning out of control.
My once breeze
Revealed to be a merciless tornado,
Who lived for destruction and did not care for ease.
With his rough winds, I was picked up
As a new toy, or an old home,
Holding only one purpose:
To be spiraled into pieces.
So I spun
And I thrashed
Among the winds and bits of flowers.
Miles and miles we went, until
unexpectedly, I felt those rays I had hated
and was dropped to the ground.
No longer being in the tornado
must sound as relieving as my once breeze did,
but the tornado never actually left.
instead, bored with me,
it spun and twirled around me and toyed,
destroying and crushing whatever it can.
What do you do next to a tornado
with an uncontrollable desire for chaos?
There's no land of oz waiting for me
In the shadows of my mind,
Only the harsh brush of reality
And the repercussions of trusting a tornado
And
Believing in a breeze.
