as the wind howls

i love the wind…i love the movement and the mystery and the energy of it…i love the sound it makes through the trees and the howling sound it makes all by itself…i love lying in bed at night and listening to it outside, seeing shadows of the moving trees dancing across the ceiling and the walls…i love the insomnia it causes when it screams so loud the windows shake…i love how it carries…i love how it has life…i love rushing to the car and bracing against it, and i love the contrast of the sudden stillness when i close the door…i love how my nose runs and how wild and untamed it makes my hair…i love how my face flushes and my skin tingles as if a supernatural force of nature has just made passionate love with me…i love the wind…and i love when it calms…always with the promise to return again.
