Listen To the Wind

There it goes again, a wild gusty breeze
 huffing and puffing through the barren trees
 while on the ground below,
a leaf scurries to and fro.

I hear the hum, then the raging howl
 a bounce upon each branch on the prowl
 just before the then of here and now
windswept passage keeps no vows.

It speaks to me in a hurried rush
 shivering the spine blown with every touch
 and in its rage, I pause to hear and listen
to the voice of the wind,  fierce and bewitching.
