Lines To Florence...

From the bowel of a Tropical wave
Emanates nature's messenger so suave
A glimpse caught could terrify
And the weakest of mind - nullify
Her face - a group of confused winds
Poseidon's fury leashed to her wings

Mama Africa with her eyes,
Witnessed when from birth her calmness told truthful lies
Whirlwind melodies heard - echoing to the west, torrents of caution
Braced up for this sweet sour visitor in motion
Memories await premature wipe out
Life for a moment, will pause and step out

Let your fury learn the temper of coolness
Oh florence - I implore you in calmness
Approach your quagmire laced hosts like the far struck golf ball
And with reduced velocity make your landfall
Your great eye will turn giant timbers to sleeping logs- nonetheless
And jab random static heavyweights into oblivion - a few I guess

The sun Dim'd for your sake
The route to safety all shall take
The moon's beauty taunted by whirly airy filt
Skies shedding tears of joy that spells guilt
Chorus of disaster hanging in the air
This tragic opera I invoke with short lived flair

Nature's messenger you are - I know
An errand to deliver, like the snow
Be diplomatic to all upon your visit
Damage less and disappear in a split cubit
Let lives return like the prodigal son
To varying dilapidated cribs soon smiled upon by the sun
