Hide, Hide, Hideaway

An awaited storm came
I escaped to my fantasy castle
pieces of environment
blew all over in the wind
... like tassels

Elderly people
got scattered, some
... drowned
overwhelmed in vacuum
of thunderheads

And dust swirled
in Autumn sky
raised inordinate reactions
to fabulous stimuli

Play today inside
hide, hide, hideaway,
here in the puppet palace
moan and whine all day
sit in my center of calm
amid swirling gale tide
Play today, but,
... hide, hide hideaway.
