Zephyr to Tornado

 

I am a tiny little breeze

whipped up upon the hill,

I'm gentle when I'm in the trees

and in the valley, still.

 

Blow me through a Desert,

a Canyon or a Gorge

repeatedly and over time

you'll see my pathways forge.

 

I'll twist and rip the very earth

you've built your world upon,

I'll shade the Sun that nurtures birth

till all that's good is gone.

 

So, if you sense me stirring

dismiss me not with ease,

for Storms are reoccurring

and will Ravage where they please.

Thanks for the overnight likes,

Just a gently breeze in The Blossoms this morning.

Thanks Landi,

Forces like those of/in nature don't often spend time preaching, they prefer to turn up unannounced and just do their biblical thing--I like that.

Men like to give warning, usually to feed their little egos and thankfully in doing so betray their intentions...to those that might be paying attention.

Biblical without the demagoguery and preachiness--I like it.

'reoccurring' in the last stanza takes this poem to a higher level, David. You can almost taste the rhythm.
