A Sudden Wind
The banging of windows,
The in throwing of dry leave and twigs
And the Halleluah chorus of the lively trees
Shook me wake and drew me to my window seal.
An angry wind blows over my sweat moist brow,
Dust contaminates the alread hot atmosphere
And my breathing system does nothing but respond.
The once blue sunny sky turns to grey.
Somewhere above,
Angry roars sound.
Toddlers run to their mother's bosoms
While the elder children draw the wide transparent windows
And quickly cover them with sun sprayed curtains.
Less, lesser and lesser noise still sounds.
Let Him do His work.
One
Two
Three
Four people still walk on the streets,
The rest are already obedient to His voice.
