Storm Chasers

Dedicated To: Victoria N. Magallanes

Hidden in the anvil of a late April storm
Beats the whistles of a whirlwind, Mother Nature has just born

It spins its deadly fingers, while growing stronger in its wake
Turning downwards toward the prairie, in search of victims to make a name

We drive our tattered wagon, along this dusty road
Seeking answers to the secrets which the Twister holds inside

The knowledge which we gather, in our chase of spring time storms
Will lead one day to learning, how to tame their wicked turns

As we watch this swirling mass, venting anger with each embrace
This evil wrath of blackness, sets its funnel upon the land

The darkness in the sky, seems to be drawing ever closer
Leaving little time to check our instruments, which gives us insight
To many questions left unanswered, by the coming of the storms

Amazingly the devil wind begins to plow, into the dryness of the ground
Turning trees into splinters, as it cuts a slithered path, along the edges of the field

With just three quarter mile between us, we gaze towards the vortex
Whom very few have ever seen, or will ever see again

For we're Tornado Hunters, a job which breathes pure fear
In this magnificence of nature, rarely seen by mortal man

Leaves me totally in awe, of the many splendid wonders
Mother Nature keeps within

The Maze

Dedicated To: Ursula Steinhauser

In this turnaround called life to many known as fate
Lies two hands directing traffic, thru a maze called sin
As we shift and turn in our trek to another world
Goodness and evil stand side by side watching all who pass

With no movement by either side, they wait till we decide
To whom we'll turn and face, a choice we'll need to make
Towards the light towards the dark, there is no other choice
As I go forwards pondering, as to which direction to take

A decision I'll need to make before the judgment day
What hands shall I reach out, which choice should I make
My soul with free will given by the powers of the light
To render what I think is just within these ruthless walls

I'll ask the hands of righteousness to seal this heart with love
To bring me to the brilliance which lies within his globe
For in the powers of his love will guide me to the end
Opening the door to paradise, for the rest of eternity

My Everlasting Love

Dedicated To: Evangeline, my Valentine

Have you ever tried to put a meaning to everlasting love?
You could almost say it's like a rainbow, bending across the sky

The ebbs and flows, the ups and downs which carries us at times
Reminds me of the many memories we hold so deep inside

And like the multiple of colors, which sparkles after a morning rain
Love is ever smiling, radiating a special glow, which shines upon your face

I truly believe, I've found the answer to the question, I've stated above
And you're the meaning, I've searched to find, no need to seek any further

For you and I bound together, will share sweet dreams, as only lovers can
And we'll watch our rainbows brighten each day, as no other has done before
