Safe

Sitting here
 looking out the protection of my window on the world
I'm safe
 watching as the wind rises and races through the trees
a howling calls out
 crying and weeping boisterously at the onslaught of spring
late March winds
 arrive at the close of April midst the tempest-tossed rains
rivers and streams form
 where the earth slopes down into the wood
and creatures hide
 hovering in the brush and thicket bush
as I watch
 safe.
