Welcome wind my old friend
You have come such a long way
Gathering memory & courage
Not always gentle
But never unkind.
If I could I would offer you a cup
Sit down with you
& share stories of beauty we have found
Since last we met.

Batten down the hatches, lads, it's going to be WILD out there!
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

As approaches Batten Down the Hatches, in bad weather sailing ships would ensure open cargo holds where covered in canvas to keep out storm water, these canvas covers where kept in place by nailed down long wooden strips called battens. Hence Batten down the Hatches!
