Listen to the wind.

As you lay in bed pursuing sleep
Can you hear the wind down in the street
Chasing leaves
And garbage cans
Howling like a thousand fans

The sound increases, then it soars
Rattling windows
Banging doors
Shaking bushes till they bend
You wonder will it ever end

Like some mischievous way ward child
Untamed, unleashed
And running wild
To cause distraction if you please
Or rip like thunder through the trees

Then just as quick it fades away
To where i really cannot say
My blankets crumpled in a heap
I finally drift off into sleep.

Lovely pen! Perfect rhyme and rhythm too.
Even though you are talking of the howling wind, the whole piece goes on liltingly rocking you to sleep...At the end of it you just want to curl up in bed and go to sleeeeep...warm, warm indeed!!!
