The blustery darkness came
With it came cracking soft into hard
And then long, cold silence.
The tall ones begged for it to stop.
There was no reprieve.
Until one day many moons later
When at last the yellow burst
Shone brightly in the cloudless sky
The cat stretched lazily across the driveway.

Love the lines "cracking soft into hard
ReplyDeleteAnd then long, cold silence." And the ending, with the cat on the driveway, that's such a lovely image and it presents such literary ambiguity. Love the title, "The Winds."
