All The Wind Brought by: Jennie Camile
The stillness started to sway
The clouds got carried away
The bluest of skies you’ve ever seen
The ocean waves got a little mean
We thought it’d bring rain
We thought it’d bring chills
We welcomed the change
But that was until…
Fires and overturned trees
Walkways covered in piles of leaves
Power outages and hair full of knots
That was what the wind brought
The chimes played music
The gusts were elusive
Loose papers went up in the air
Chaos could be seen here and there
We thought it’d bring sprinkles
We thought it’d bring hope
We prayed for more than a drizzle
But we can put away those raincoats
High surf and birds struggling to fly
Balloons swept away and too fast to stop
Cars swerving and sand blowing into eyes
That was what the wind brought
No rain
No matter how much we danced
Nothing to flow down the drain
Boots have nowhere to splash
More summer-like days – so hot!
That was what the wind brought
