Wild Weather
I am Wild Weather.
I wonder how the meteorologist knows my path.
I hear radios signal my approach.
I see towns bustling with people trying to prepare for whatever I dish out.
I want them to know that I mean them no harm.
I am wild weather, I do what I was created to do.
I pretend that my lightning and thunder is a musical band, playing at opening night.
I feel powerful when the tornados gust their winds of over 300 miles per hour.
I touch the hearts of children as I gently blow my snow upon the ground.
I worry that sometimes I blow too hard and I may create a blizzard with
powerful winds, and blinding snow.
I cry and the rain comes down and turns to ice, freezing on power lines.
I am Wild Weather, I do not mean to cause so much damage.
I understand that when I go away for a while and create a drought, you miss me.
I say watch out for the dust storms with gusting winds.
I dream of days where I can travel as fog to the seacoasts,
lakeshores, deep valleys and along mountaintops.
I try to create a balance among the seasons.
I hope that I have not caused you too much harm.
I am Wild Weather. I only do what I was created to do.
