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.
