used to lull me to sleep with ease until I listened to it alone one night and it made me want to weep. ![]() My children were spending the night away and I was home all alone when early morning a storm came up with a wind that wailed and moaned. ![]() Lightning blazed across the sky in a bright relentless display; the thunder vibrated the walls and made my insides shake. ![]() The wind had a steady whimpering sound that could not be drowned by the rain. The tone was eerie and lonely resembling someone in pain. ![]() Like the cry of a small child awakening from sleep in alarm; scared, frightened and all alone and needing his mother's arms. ![]() Or the cry of someone far away filled with loneliness and pain perhaps from the loss of a loved one and their tears were the falling rain. ![]() Why was the wind so different tonight and its wailing bothering me so? The crying in the wind was coming from within as my own fear of being alone. |
