Why Now?
March 24, 2011
The wind whips at my face when the sky grows darker,
Tattered leaves blow around me,
The flash and then the crack,
It's closer now,
Houses and cars shriek as they are torn from the ground,
Trees sway and wave so strongly some are breaking from their roots,
It can't be happening,
Not now,
Not ever,
The racing wind roars all around,
Trying to take me,
Trying to pull me in,
Into darkness.
