The wind never stops,
It blows like a fan on high
With no off button.
South Carolina–
Cockroach strolls across the floor
to escape the flood.
His joy is short-lived,
Unfortunately for him,
he has met his match.

You have to live in the south to understand the last two.
Unable to sleep
steady blowing of the wind
Matthew overhead.
800 lost souls
mixed with salty ocean waves
swept up to the sky. *
Swirling with the wind
They have traveled many miles
looking for their home.
I have never heard
winds of rain and hurricane
knocking at my door.
It is hard to sleep
knowing a tree may enter
through my bedroom wall.

* More than 800 died of this hurricane in Haiti this past week. It struck me that this same wind was now above my house, still dropping rain. Some of it may have been ocean drops from Haiti.
