A friend sent me this photo, spiraling
wind blowing dust and sand upward
called a Dust Devil, I had to write a poem;-)
I'm amazed how it reaches to the cloud
~*~
Sky smiles happily at me this morning
Yet, not far away, a weather demon
Threatens to dispose of my good day
I watch with fascination while I pray
For I refuse to let it get in my way
That is, if I have any means to resist
I'm in awe that such things can exist
Though weather is a force of nature
That doesn't heed any legislature
Which makes me wonder why not
Would Creator have devised such a plot
Knowing the cost of destruction begot
Chaos with loss of health wealth and life
Leaving many to live their lives in strife
And so minds muse on life's great mysteries
Could the human race be missing some key
Or do we assume that's how it's meant to be
As intriguing as the dust in the wind we see
etw-2007

I've learned something today, never realised sand can be so foreboding...
To make the image in the mind a less threatening one.

With questions. . . .
That no one can answer
There lies the beauty
And the evil
Carried away by "Dust Devil"
Rich with a political undertone.

It's nice to hear you playing again.

The winds swirling 'round here, too--but not dust devils, TORNADOES! Three weeks in a row, we've had warnings. Again tonight, south of Johnson County (where I live), tornado warnings were issued for Hill County. Unexpected severe storms popped up in the afternoon heat...I'm 'bout T I R E D of this! Please pray the severe weather season GOES. I'd rather see a dust devil, they're not quite as destructive. They can cause havoc, but not the wide-spread devastation that tornadoes can. Intriguing picture, and I love how the dust devil spun up your Muse! Well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
And thy can cost so much devastation
And destruction to a city or town
I live in El Paso TX surrounded by mountains
but in the desert you find them!
(and I think that's how it's meant to be
This is life's great mystery!
Excellent message and questions!!
Love And Peace to you always
your friend...Morning Star
