Summertime Tornado

Springtime quickly aroused the winds within
                the two of us.
Winds so beautifully similar,
                but fascinatingly different.

Prior to the seasonal shift,
                our winds danced individually upon the earth,
                                cool and calming,
                                refreshing and tranquil.

Two breezes swayed nature in their own territory,
                lifted the spread wings of birds to new heights,
                                and filled the sails of ships venturing upon the ocean.

A wind from the north and one from the south
                blew incessantly without much commotion
                                until they met mid-Spring.

Their sudden encounter caused a twisting of the element,
                a ravishing tornado,
                                a delightful combination of two now excited gusts of energy.

The twisted winds moved together through nature now,
                brandishing tree branches as weapons of happiness,
                                and stimulating waves in the seas to break up the silence with their song.

The tornado was more benevolent than destructive;
                any witness of its beauty
                                could attest to that…

But the enchanting mess of winds was forced to a halt
                as the north wind continued northward
                                while the south traveled southward.

Summertime will allow for our winds to dance individually
                upon the earth,
                                cool and calming,
                                refreshing and tranquil
                                                once again.

And though every witness may attest to the fact that
                each wind is still happy and beautiful,
                                whirling through nature with its simplicity and pleasantness…
Something will be missing
                until autumn causes our winds to meet once more
                                and wrap themselves together in a picturesque chaos.
