it is the smell of rain before the storm
sweet and fresh yet so bitter and dangerous
it is the feeling of the storm as it hits the waves
tumultuous and cathartic
it is the twister as it turns
the sickening flip-flop feeling in your stomach
it is the cyclone as it leaves
a calamity that leaves nothing but destruction in its path
as the victims try to pick up the remains
but once something is broken so completely it can never be pieced back together
it is devastation
it is ruin
it is hell
it is heaven
it is earth
it is us
