Tornado

Tanslucent diamonds fell from the sky disappearing into the dense pavement like crystal clear explosions. Wind howled like a lonely wolf wandering aimlessly into the woods. Trees uprooted while branches broke apart, as if being destroyed by an invisible menace. This storm was different, so unfamiliar. Creeping cautiously, secretly, almost maliciously. Like a magnet, I am drawn to it's mystery. Lost and exhausted, unable to see, I try to ground myself, but the cement disappears, I am confronted with my deepest fears. Alone and abandoned I look to the sky, but clouds are intangible, and my eyes fill with pain, and begin to cry. Purple and red, black and grey, my world was once lush with vibrancy, but now I am afraid. Walking on eggshells, uncertainty prevails, funnel clouds in the distant, panic swells. Searching through the chaos calling to the heavens for help. Why is there no answer ? What hand have I been delt? Confused the tornado passes over me, barely touching. Reality fades away as I fall with a thud onto the cold damp earth. My heart is pounding in my ears, and I reminecse about the years shared. A weak smile overcomes the hate, but not long enough to dissapate the heartache. Calmly I rise now, the cowardly sun breaks through the darkness , and once again I trek alone against the light that cradles me cold.
