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
