Flip the Switch

An overwhelming storm,
Harsh and buffeting.

An unsettling quiet,
Deep and suffocating.

An unforgiving wind,
Cold and lacerating.

A temperamental land,
Hard and unpredictable.

A relentless vaccuum,
Strong and inescapable.

An endless rollercoaster,
Riders trapped by bars and belts.
Lifted, dropped, and flung about
Without rhyme, reason, or warning
And no one to hear the screams,
Take the picture, or flip the switch.
