The Storm (written during a tornado warning)

The storm is raging more and more out of control

I feel the barometric pressure pushing down on my soul

Only now a barometer can’t measure the feeling

My heart is slowly breaking, there’s no hope for healing

The clouds and the rain define how I think

The lightning and thunder cause my stomach to sink

The winds circling, twirling, swirling about

Makes my eyes a flash flood, no way to swim out

The sirens are whaling, the trees are swaying

My mind like a heavy object not capable of weighing

And when I think this storm must soon end

Another siren blares, and my mood descends

To a new all-time low, that only I can explain

So much to lose, so little to gain

All I can do is to hope and to pray

That this tornado will not carry me too far away

That the storm will blow over, without leaving a mark

That I may be happy on the future mission I must embark.
