Oblivion


by WildWithWords



From sunny to shady
From bright into gloom
All eyes skywards
Portents of doom.


Greying and fraying
Those howling dark skies
Vortex forming
Deadly surprise.


Louder and louder
A freight train on high
Nearer and nearer
Nature’s drive-by.


Swirling and whirling
Shrill screaming winds
Countdown to terror
As lift-off begins.


Cameraman capturing
That final nightmare
Posterity witnessing
That frozen scream there.


One second to forever
Nails ripped from walls
Planks torn asunder
Oblivion calls.


Devastate then dissipate
A scar of debris spray
It’s over…. and it’s done
Someone’s world blown away.

MaxRS: I really can't imagine anything scarier that nature could create, especially when it arrives in the dark of night.
