 ~*~ The Winds of Change ~*~Sitting here in solitude, I am somehow surrounded in a new, But very unfamiliar freshness. With my heart cupped in my hands, A choice is now made to trust, and Ride the transparent waves of life. I hear soft whispers of hope, On the winds of change. I hear laughter in the air, Such a foreign sound. I need to absorb this nourishment of Heaven and earth in my unresting soul. Slowly the cold winds that whistled through My heart are turning to a warm spring rain. My spirit has finally begun to grow wings, To guide and fly me into my destiny. I see the trees, birds, the earth, Now all a part of my universe. What once went unnoticed Brings forth such peace, And a quieting serenity to my soul. Somehow a rebirth, Just a child of this earth, A perfect being like no other. An unknown sadness rears its head, As I release the familiar bondage. I cry, over the loss of a feeling, That was part of me for so long. Mind's eye envisions me flying on, Beautiful gossamer, cellophane wings, Floating to that new place of peace. I am hanging on for dear life, But, my strength shall be my anchor, My faith shall be my sail, and I will ride in hope and trust On the winds of change.

Sea ~* Thank you I wrote this as I was inspired by a poem Doreen did today to write what I was feeling a long time ago, and strangely again just recently. |

Mysteria~ When inspiration lifts your pen - you write such a nice flowing piece~ 'Mind's eye envisions me flying' I sure like that thought ! *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Martha - glad to see you back and know you and your computer are once again a team! I can not wait to read something - go girl! Marge - thank you, I think I have a moment once in awhile where that muse grabs me and won't let me get up off this chair, and this was one of them. Interloper - boy, you sure know how to use those words don't you? Thank you so much Sunshine - thank you I don't know of any other way. Doreen - NO...thank you! Your poem reminded me of my younger days as a struggling single parent, and that is the hardest job on earth. Being a parent and still trying to find yourself in all that is frustrating, lonely, and tough...so hang on girl, it gets better~hugs~ ~*~ I write, therefore I am ~*~ |
