Humble

She dumped a lot of rain

surged the seas and scattered leaves.

She dropped a tree, quite mercifully

right beside the house with no damage.

The last of the winds

are still blowing through here

now, after midnight.

Clear skies

all quiet, save for the wind

scoured, cleansed

There was a time this afternoon

when the winds waned

and the birds, all at once,

re-emerged.
