Detours

ravaging

i am the howling wind

full of power and rage

i bring down trees,

and tear homes apart,

but inside i am a cloud

soft,

vulnerable,

and weak

many do not understand

who i am and

what i can become

but then neither do i

some days i am cold

and other days i am not

i do not follow a direction

but i am not lost

i simply go where i must

i follow my own path
