I still see her on disaster's green
Braving the tempest aftermath
To search for siblings in between
The wreckage of a twister's path.
The wind was in her silhouette,
Before the turbulence beyond,
And betrayed nothing of the fret
That the ransacking wind had spawned.
Then, as an angel plucks a ghost,
She whisked me off to safety sure
Or if need be get diagnosed,
Or otherwise be made secure...
Like memories which won't rescind
Of angels in the silhouette wind.

Or otherwise be made secure...
