Spring Storm

There is a long line of colors on the weather app.
Greens, yellows, reds and pinks float across
the screen of my phone while clouds flow over
the land above.

A warning siren in the distance followed by
an answering call further along insists
that people find shelter and safety from the storm.

And while secured in basements and inner rooms,
what shields mortals from the weathered tempests
that dwell within threatening to rip the roofs off
with whispering winds of change?
