The Wind

it whistles around the windows

and roars down the chimney

the wind

 

it brutishly bends the bushes

and defeats the gulls

the wind

 

it chases the young hare

into its meagre wet form

the wind

 

it darkens the sea

and whips up the white caps

the wind

 

it blows torrents of water at us     

from the angry Atlantic

it switches around

and pelts the red wooden door    

the wind

 

the black night has fallen

and window frames tremble

the wind

 

there is no let up

of the ceaseless battering

the wind

 

it howls and bellows

I rule your world

The Wind
