Winds of change
blowing to me
a clearer path
I now see.
Strong winds blow
against the storm
calmness envelopes me
feeling warm.


Dark clouds move out
blue skies move in
brightness returns
to life again.
Those days gone
life not the same
newness born
with winds of change.




On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

GS,

This one speaks volumes.  So glad to see the clouds moving out.  It does get better with time, my friend.  Wonderful thoughts!

Hi Gentle Spirit,
  Don't we have the darnest weather, winds blow this way, that way, back and forth "but" we always have a front come over first when the weather changes. Did I read all this from your excellent poem? musthave.

Aimster, the storms come, and they go.....OUR strength lies in being able to weather the storms.  Thanks.  

Compassion, I don't know about that excellent part, but you did find the message in there.  Thank you for the wonderful compliment, and for understanding.

Reminds me of a song I love. I enjoyed this so much, thank you!

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""
