Tempest Wind
Once again, I hear the wind howling like a baying wolf!
with voice high pitched, relentless as it cries.
Circling around the trees in search of prey
pushing aside the leaves, rattling its chains.
Competing with the rain, but the wind will take control
whistling in jest, as builds and gains more strength.
Boosting momentum with wreaking havoc as its goal
oblivious, to those scared and hiding under cover.
Watching and listening to this awful roar
as it quicky sweeps away any object in its path.
Relentless now, its laugh is evil and loud
Swirling, and sashaying down every path.
Gaily painting pictures of devastation
relishing in its strength and force of destruction.
A brutal force that no man can tame, once released
running amok, as it has its wilful way.
Yet, once winds force is spent, it will cast off its demon.
cool down, taking a gentle calming breath.
Return to its former welcoming breeze.
Pleasing and refreshing as it sweetly sighs.
