What’s in a Storm?

What’s in a storm?

Well obviously wind and rain

What’s in a house?

Well obviously not a storm

Not wind and rain
But
There is me
In the house
Looking at the storm

What’s in a storm?

As I look out
A woman walking her dogs
All wrapped up in plastic
The dogs wrapped up in fur 
And loving it
The dogs are loving the storm

Who else?

Well, the bin men

Not loving it 
They are getting wet
And the rubbish is blowing about
In the wind
Which is blowing them about
Too

And I went out too
To put my bin out
And I got wet too

Storms are there 
To remind us
That out there
Outside our house
Are forces beyond our control
Which are there
To remind us
To take care of 
The people and things
We love
Indoors
