Tornado

********************

I am Tornado. I come when you call me.

I come whirling down at your cry.

 

I am Tornado. My surname is Whirlwind.

I come on black wings from the sky

 

My sister Lightning, in letters of splendour,

emblazons my name on the sky

 

My brother Thunder, he reads the inscriptions,

announcing my name as I fly.

 

I am Tornado! I bring liberation.

Don't flee from me, children of Earth.

 

I come for the people of poverty's nation.

I swirl down to bring them new birth.

 

My black velvet wings I'll wrap tightly round you.

I come whirling down at your cry.

 

No more worship of things when Tornado has found you.

I bear you up, free, to the sky.

It's actually about a black dragon... but the piece was inspired by a storm :)

I could see this as a preface in a Fantasy piece, perhaps chanted/sung by the shaman of an aborigine tribe...

 

Very anthromorphic. Nice change of pace for you.
