Tornado (A Poem)

Flashes of light

in my sight.

Wind pours over me

The rain and hail

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.
