Wind

Eerie voices 
Creeping around corners and eaves 
Laughing and whispering 
Their promise of the coming storm 

Howling frustration at the trees 
That grasp but can not hold 
Tearing leaf from limb as it passes 

Turbulent passage 
Through alleyways and streets 
Spiraling into devils 
Against all who dare resist 

Carried away 
With reckless abandon into the night 
And blowing straight to the sea 
To rejoice as a gale 
To finally be free
