Wind
WIND
by
Kevin L Fairbrother
The wind, so cold, so bloody cold
Wraps it’s freezing breath around me
Aches my head, numbs my body
Sucks my energy and dulls my brain
……….
The wind it smashes, it breaks, bends and twists
Everything within it’s non-yielding path
Destruction every-where I look…it’s hell
As Mother Nature vents her fury on earth
…
The wind howls and screams it deafens me
I am fearful for it is relentless…it gives no ground
I seek shelter and relief… but where
For this freezing blast of cold air is everywhere
………
The safety of my home so near… yet so far
As another blast completely bowls me over
It rolls me over and over and buries me beneath the snow
And blackness engulfs me… I’m buried alive
…….
I feel no pain…just silence… but I am cold
So bloody cold, I’m shivering, shaking…feel so numb
I’m hovering between life and death… I loose consciousness
A blackness overwhelms and engulfs me
……
Surely I’m dead… but awaken in hospital
The wind, the snow, the cold has frozen my body
Frost-bite…now I feel horrendous pain
So much pain that I black out again
Only to be revived and the pain has subsided
……
For weeks and months I endured the pain
Minus fingers toes … a leg… I wish I was dead
Because I tempted fate by venturing into the wind
A wind that went so close to leaving me dead
