THE STORM CHASER IN ME

i do not know when it happened...

my love and passion

for INCREDIBLE 

STORMS

i just know it did.

naturally,

i never wish for harm to be done.

my hope is to experience

what my finite mind

could never imagine

and then live to tell about it.

i believe

"STORM CHASER"

would be an adequate description for me

minus the equipment,
the training,

and knowlege of the making

of a perfect STORM

friday, the 13th of september
(yes...friday the 13th)

as i was leaving my classroom,

it was evident

that a STORM was brewing.

i had my camera in hand

determined to finally

capture the bold flowers

that greet me daily.

my eyes were distracted

by the dark sky

in the background

of the bright yellow flowers.

 an unusual shaped cloud appeared
immediately, i dropped everything,
grabbed my camera
and clicked away.

one of my childhood friends

witnessed many tornadoes.

she described

colors of purple and green...

there...hints and traces of purple and green

the cloud dipped 

towards the ground.

noah was waiting at his school
and so i could not follow it through to the end

the question...

was it just a strange cloud

or did i just observe

the spectacular?
