Array ( [sid] => 145689 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Wind [time] => 2008-10-13 12:39:01 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The wind called to me ~
summoning me from my
peaceful place of dreams.

It animated the trees
and their branches ~
tapping, scraping my walls.

I awoke to its ancient
elemental voices.
It said, "I have many names.
Bayamo, Boreas, Chubasco,
Euros, Papagayo, Huracan, Taku
and The Lash of St. Francis."

It beckoned me ~
calling me out into the night,
"Behold my power and might!

"I rule the surface world!
Mountains erode at my touch.
I obscure the sun and moon
with a tempest of clouds.

"Oceans tower at my bidding ~
waves explode on command.
I am without form, yet form to all.

"Step outside and embrace me ~
stand before me, eyes closed.
Feel my omnipotence."

The wind called to me.
I answered silently
by pulling the covers
tightly over my head.
