Tornado

The air tastes like a battery
(sharp and sour)
bringing saliva to the forefront 
Birds cease their endless chattering
(Primal Knowledge)
of the storm front

Ozone strikes my senses
(Sweet and Metallic)
Warns me of Danger
The sky a Sulfur Yellow
(Sick and Cancerous) 
Deformed Anger

Wind battering through the world
(Frantic and Berserk)
Trees Forced to Reel
The Sun Departed
(Sullen and Muted) 
Refusing to let me Heal

The light diminishes 
(Cold and Dark)
Leaving the World to It's Fate
The Wind Recedes
(Calm and Quiet) 
For me I know that I am too Late

The Air like a Fist drives me back
(Angry, Bitter, Hateful)
Swirling 'Round and 'Round
I See the Funnel Form
(Uncaring, Unabating)
A Tornado kisses the Ground

As the Dark Cloudy Serpent Eats
(Malevolent, Insatiable)
I turn my Heels to Flee
 My movements prove Powerless
(Inept and Helpless)
As I become One with the Debris

I am cut a million times 
(Terror...Panic)
And I cannot Breath
Wreckage and Damnation
(Twisted, Bent, Broken)
Behind it is all this Devil Leaves

I fight and curse Nature and the gods
(Helpme, please HELP ME)
As I see my end come nigh
A pain wrenches my middle
(Torn, Broken)
As my body falls from the sky

As the Sun breaks the Horizon
(Golden, Beautiful)
As I lay upon the dew
I reflect upon the absence of Pain
(Peace, Clarity)
And the life that I once Knew

As the Sun caresses my face
(Warm, Loving)
I rise up from the ground
I see myself below me
(Strangled, Death)
I forget and Look Around

The Sky is Blue and Gentle
 (Fresh, and Wide)
The World is Awake and New
I am Called towards the Heavens
(Peace, Freedom, LOVE!)
Called to a better View

I now ride on Clouds
(Soft, Warm)
And watch the Beauty Below
All my loved ones are with me
(Happy)
As we lie back to watch the show
