When Shea Oak leaves move in a light breeze they make a specific sound. Not quite a sigh, not quite a rustle, not quite white noise. It is such a gentle sound that it is easily missed. To hear it you must be still and reach out to accept the vibrations.
Lobelia hears it as she waits patiently. The wind is just beginning to rise, and in her stillness, she accepts the quiet sounds of the Shea Oak leaves as a slight caress.
And still she waits. The rising pitch of the leaves mirrors the rising speed of the wind and marries in with the eucalypts as they begin it catch the rushing air.
And then the cold air is rushing under her skirt, which rises against its natural fall. And the roaring eucalypts break waves of sound which drown the gentle Shea Oak.
