The alarming storms of change I fear have come
With autumn leaves fallen from barren branches
By strong winds of time, again seized in tumble
Comfortable I was, No choice now, but with to run

Pondering of my present stride, soon to become past
Solace I can find in this unknown session of transition
For past at once was present, and present never lasts
Sand across the dessert blown, thoughts of soft chaos

A life so brief, yet, the memories give untold length
Loved ones lost to failures of body, failures of mine
Cracked and torn dreams, mutants of enduring hope
Scars which to the heart have supplied hard strength

Thick ugly masses of toughened soul and mind
Absorbed all grief and ache, weighting flux in place
Continuance an ever companion, has my smile softened
Too slowly to realize, the scars have thinned and faded

So long ago, so far away, impacting my life, still today
Steps needed to reach my self, steps sunken out of sight,
These thoughts do now come, disembodied from my eyes
Never asked for, but grateful to, my rough paths plight

The moments in this sprint have no strategy of prediction
Abruptness is changes gift or curse, and times true nature
I know not where I’ll be let off, nor when again will be taken
For this moment, a direction obscure, my sprint has no restriction

Wow!! What a Welcome! I can already tell this a going to be a very cool place to be. Thankyou for all the wonderful comments .

I post at another poetry forum and it is considered a bit rude to post on your own poems...but it seems to be the opposite here. So it seems like a great place to just say..."Thank you". I'm so looking forward to reading all your work.
