I heard the wind laugh, at the windows, <br />As I quietly made the bed, <br />'I'll pull these nails out, one by one- <br />Your roof will lie upon your head.' <br /> <br />I heard the wind titter past the eaves, <br />As Winter weather swirled around, <br />'I'll take these panes whenever I want- <br />And all the leaves will tumble down.' <br /> <br />I heard the wind trying all four walls, <br />And the wood beams, shifting weight, <br />As he promised, 'I'll let the moon in- <br />And the creatures, that roam late.' <br /> <br />Then I heard wind whisper, where I lay <br />In bed, and hoped it soon would wane- <br />'Do not worry your world will last- <br />Mark my words; it's all in v-a-i-n-nnn..'<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-heard-the-wind/
