In the heartland’s midst, where the wheat fields grow,
A dance of winds began to blow.
A whisper first, so soft and low,
Then rising fast, the gales did grow.
From gentle breeze to furious squall,
The sky turned dark at nature’s call.
A funnel formed, both wide and tall,
A spinning force that did enthrall.
With howling voice, the twister roared,
Across the plains, it danced and soared.
It swept up lives and dreams it floored,
Yet in its path, some found accord.
For there are those who chase the storm,
Seeking beauty that’s not the norm.
In chaos, they find the form,
Of nature’s art, which they adorn.
The tornado’s might, a fearsome sight,
A vortex of the day and night.
Yet in its wrath, there’s a light,
A power that shines ever bright.
It carves a path, a line so true,
A reminder of what nature can do.
In its wake, the world’s anew,
A chance to start, to renew.
So here’s to the love of the tempest’s spin,
To the thunderous, spiraling din.
For in the storm, we begin,
To see life’s dance, from within.

As always a deep and moving piece well accompanied by connecting artwork.
