Tornado.

Tornado.

A Poem by Blackbird1968
"

A spiritual experience.

"
 The rain, it comes down and it is silent
 When lightning strikes, the weather is violent. 
 
 Alone in my room, alone in this house
 Everything shakes, the thunder is loud. 

The lights go out, I am all by myself
Important things fall, s**t flies off the shelf. 

It all starts to get harder, the wind and the rain.
The walls coming down, leaves me in pain. 

All of my stuff, pictures and all.
This house was much stronger, when it was new and I was small. 

The tree we planted that grew so tall, 
There was nothing left of it, nothing at all. 

The roots ripped to shreds just the roots sticking out.
The torso and branches were down along with the house. 

Stuck under debris, my voice is not heard.
This tornado was dangerous, all the rubble is stirred. 

All I have known, its only now rubble. 
My life as I saw it, now remains troubled. 

It's more than just a house, there's no way to repair.
When my family get's back, it'll be nothing but despair. 

Mr.Tornado, what did we do?
Is your family troubled, because mine is too. 

Don't take away something so dear to my heart.
All that I had is falling apart. 

My parents don't speak, I now have no home. 
Never in this world, have I  felt so alone. 

Mr.Tornado, why are you so mean. 
My body gives up, I start to dream. 

A white light appears, my body is still
A man walks towards me and I start to feel chilled. 

His hands are gentle, his heart is kind. 
Not clear of what's happening, but my soul doesn't mind. 

He tells me be strong, and that I'll be okay. 
Trusting my faith is the only way. 

Don't worry about anything, leave that to me. 
Then I wake up, from what seemed to be a dream. 

I am no longer in the rain or under debris.
I can breath much better, I am finally free. 

I take a look around, not sure where I am. 
Doctor's tell my parent's what's going to be the plan. 

I start to get nervous, I was not hear when I went to sleep. 
My mom glances over and starts to weep. 

We thought we lost you, my mom starts to cry. 
The doctors informed me, that I sure enough died. 

The man that I saw , was sure enough god. 
He reminded me of what's important, and that's ,that I am strong. 

No divorce, or tornado can tear me down. 
I am the strength queen waiting to be crowned. 

I treasure my life, now and forever. 
Never in this world, have I ever felt so together.
