The wind whistled the rain into mere puddles, Leaves danced across the floor mimicking the moves of synchronised dancers, classes passed by like a wet Sunday morning, but not mine… mine was filled with listeners of the wind, Listening to the howls of the wind that would mess delicately done hair, The howling wind that would blow books and sheets away, The howling wind that silenced all.
