Storm Speak To Me

Can hear it,
can feel it,
can only step back and watch
as the repeated hammer blows of gusting winds pounded on this tree.

Step back, get out of the way.
Allow my child to bend in the winds of life a little more.
Allow mistakes and the resulting consequences to happen,
though it is hard to let go;

The day after,
a tree, pleasing to the sight.
grow, spreading tree,

grow leafy tree, grow tall
and All shall sit in your shade...
