The wind woke me up 
Last night
Sleepless and needy
She rattled my window
She banged at my door
She wished for my company
Why
I’m not sure 
The moon kept me up then
So full of the days
She saw me awake 
And she needed a cry
The tears with the wind
Was a wintry mix
So I brought them both in
And I fixed them some tea
And I sat them both down
For a bit of a chat
And I soothed them 
And calmed them ‘cause 
I am like that
Then I ushered them out
With some very wise words
As I wondered how they were 
In charge of the world?!
