North Wind

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
