I can’t help but love the way the wind howls

My brother always told me it was the wolves out back

On the days when the trees would shake

We’d stay inside

With our noses pressed against the window

Waiting to see the beasts the woods hide

He’d point

Look it’s over there don’t you see

Squinting hard I’d make myself believe

Crying out

Quick hide don’t let it come near

Into the fort, he’d scream

It’s safe in there

And it was

So I can’t help but love the way the wind howls.
