Tornado The rumbling winds, the fear of death The twister’s roar, the gasp for breath The reach for something bound to earth The second thoughts of life’s own worth The spiral twists, the sudden turns The season shifts, the candle burns And still no where to lay your head But in the coldness of your bed The night unveils a secret thought The bitter lesson life has taught The cherished one you left behind Spins in the funnel of your mind “What if I had“; “What ifI’d not” Two questions tied into a knot And tumbling down upon your head The weight of words you left unsaid The twister spins your thoughts around In echoes of the rumbling sound Nowhere to hide or stay aground You grab for soft of pillow’s down Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (07-31-2002 07:42 AM).] |
