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
