Storm Center
Rain is the merry patter of feral cat feet on a roof,
Liquid drops of birdsong suspended in the air,
The staccato spray of ruby from a bullet-wounded deer,
And the fall of tears from her fawn's wide eyes.
The wind is a wolf howling in the black night,
The rush of an owl's wings as he falls on his prey,
The scream of a hurricane as a whale leaps into the air,
And the rustle of a bird's feathers as she shelters her young.
Touch the wind,
Touch the rain,
Touch the heart
Of somethng wild.
