There's a storm out tonight, I love storms. The power of nature is amazing. I listen to my windchimes as the tune they play seems to grow merrier. I hear the wind whip around, the trees swaying in the strong breeze. Yet this isn't the cold, harsh winter wind - this is different, softer, warmer...
I step outside and let the breeze blow through my hair, a gentle rain falls on my upturned face. I breath in deeply and smile. This is what I have been waiting for - the storm that brings in the Spring.
The Earth stirs from her long winter slumber, shrugging off the cold. The winds blow aside the blanket of dead leaves to make room for the first green shoots and flowers.
The elves and pixies, gnomes and sprites, all in the realm of Faery have come, traveling on the winds. Their laughter chimes all around me and the smell of the reborn Earth fills me with happiness. I wonder if the thunder and lightening will soon come to herald the coming Spring.
