Daily missive breaks into the weekend for Saturday the 16th of September.

Ride the storm
In safe anchor
Sail into its maw
When you are caught
In open seas
Appease its demands
Do not fight
You will never win
Flatter its insecurities
It will be pleased
To batter itself
Into submission
Leave it to die
Or it will rip and tear
Scour the life
From the fresh earth
Bend into the howl
Duck into the moan
As it sweeps
Lean toward it
Even as it reaps
In a discord
Of ragged unscored
Wind bag breaths
Blown discourteously
With little care
For sufferance.
It will lift you up
Higher than you care
Hold on tight
Flesh is a fragile defence
Bones are no match
For its power
Be patient
Wait
It will vent in fury
And relent
You will at outlast it
Just remember to breathe
In harmony with nature.
