(I have found peace in this world, but sometimes the dark does visit.)

at times
my mind is completely void
dark
this mind of mine
was once an unruffled one
but now
on certain days
it take a great effort
to retain sanity
frustration comes to call
ensnared within the blizzard of insanity
is a constant fight
to help me
win
the battle and once again
see the world
as the world needs to be seen
to see the light
oh, but when darkness slips in
I would literally
sell my soul to the pagan god of death
but I still
lingered on the wingspan of hope
understanding
its my very life which is at stake
knowing
the winds of change
is trying to steer me back on course
I hold my breath
and wait

the winds of change can be brutal or a balm my friend. I think it is cool we both came up with a poem with the same title because of your poem Wind. You know what they say about great minds... ~L
