Unable to flee
Trees bend in thrashing storm wind
Roots reach deep hold firm.
Birds wheeling sideways
Wind rushed wings onward fly
Difficult to land.
Pollarded treescape
Land floats on hidden waters
Somerset Levels.
Catkins dance waving
Pollen spreading far and wide
New generations.
Sun peaking from clouds
Clouds pushed on wind swiftly
Calm soon returning.
Wind unrelenting
Atmospheric songs wail
Silence forgotten.
Howling wind keening
Mournful song marking the day
Waiting for relief.
