tornado sky

when all the dreams take flight

one tangerine evening

racing before the wind

unknowing, uncaring

marmalade golden centers fade to dark

and the edges slice through uncreated pathways

realized visions laid waste

whirling like dervishes, smashing some lives

leaving others intact

a dreadful mystery

and we have sown the wind

what shall we reap?

nightmares come and go

but dreams abide
