RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
North Wind
Storm upon storm batters the north
Like an angry Nordic god
The wind the rain the icy chill
Brings bridges down as towns stand still
Fallen trees and flooded streets
No end to this destruction
The biting wind the snow the sleet
This monumental disruption
Hide away the elder folk
Hide away the girls and boys
This storm brings endless chill and fright
A bitter end to days of joy
The dark of winter will not lift
It hangs on like a curse
And when we finally glimpse the light
It hammers us much worse
We wonder at the things we’ve done
To deserve this horrid storm
We huddle by the fireside
And hold on to the warm
Alas the sunlight breaks the day
And lingers from the morn
But we will long remember
This endless winter storm
