The wind blew hard all day
Incessant undulating waves of mad moving manic air
Hissing and whooshing and crackling
Flipping over the patio furniture during frequent uncontrolled delinquent rages
Angry bands of heavy almost horizontal rain crashed in without warning
Soaking the ground with vigor
Flooding the roads with fast flowing miniature rivers
When the rain stopped the wind dried everything in minutes
During the day the sound of heavy city traffic competed with the wind
As the evening arrived the wind noise rose above all
By nightfall it was a deafening torrent
In the dead of night it was an explosive roaring menace
The building stood from as the howling wind screamed by
Windows rattled and shook in disbelief
Trees rustled and braced themselves against the invisible force
Innocent chairs outside were cruelly slammed into the fence
All this mischief went on throughout the long night
It was hard to sleep under siege
Having no control
Surrendering to the unstoppable power of the wind
As the full moon looked down in silent disapproval
By morning the noise had dropped to a steady blow
It was time to step outside and survey the damage
Cleaning up after natures drunken tantrums
I whispered I forgive you into the wind
