The Typhoon's Last Song

Recorded at 3:45 a.m.

（窗簾外 風雨聲）

Very early this morning — my watch showing 3:45 — I was awakened by heavy rain and strong wind outside the French window, behind the drapes. The intruding sounds were no gentle whispers; they were loud — insistently loud — carrying a raw, restless energy.

Although the typhoon, beautifully named Danas, had already been reported as having left Taiwan, the pouring rain and whistling wind still swept across the roof and beyond, as if striking drums and cymbals in a final performance. How could I possibly fall back asleep?

An idea struck me: I reached for my phone and began recording the sound of this relentless wind and rain.

Perhaps what I captured could become a new kind of “sleeping music” — something to comfort those whose rest has been broken. At the very least, may it serve as my lullaby, just this once.
