Rustling leaves echo
Branches sway as the wind gathers speed and
Scares the birds away
Thick clouds move
Across the sky
Shadows move with them
Icy wind cuts into skin
Catching breath is a struggle
Doors slam, windows rattle
But suddenly the clouds
Disappear
The screams of the wind fade
The sun is allowed to shine
People step outside
The birds return
