The winds of change
come inevitable and unbeckoned.

They can take you by storm,
trashing your norm
and casting your comfort zone asunder
within a clap of thunder.
A burst of lightening
is blinding, not enlightening.
A driving rain
flooding your brain.
A drenching downpour
soaking to your very core.
You seek respite
from the tempest.

The winds of change
come inevitable and unbeckoned.

They can come like a gentle breeze,
and you feel at ease.
Tender as a new love’s caress,
there is no distress.
You invite it in,
eager to let it begin.
You look forward to the new day
to have its new way
with you
and the things you do.
You cannot wait
to surrender your fate.

The winds of change
come inevitable and unbeckoned.

Ahhh . . . I see you have one-upped me on the wind. Yep. The winds of change can come in many various forms. Good poetry

I don't know that I one upped you. I just wrote a poem is all. You got me started with your poem about wind! ~L

Lori. I did NOT mean anything sinister or even bad when I wrote you had one-uped me. It was meant to be humorous. Jesus!
