Change in the Wind by justjo66
Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

Damp cool earth beneath me
as I lie here in the shadow of this old tree
The wind rustles the changing leaves
My mind is flooded with you

What am I going to do?
I never expected to meet someone else...
Especially someone like you
I can't stop the thoughts nor the desire

He does not deserve this betrayal
Yet, the fire that has been kindled is raging...
Hearts will be broken...
Pain reaches to the soul

Will I find redemption?
In your loves' embrace
Or will I be lost forever
without mercy or grace.

Change is coming
I hear it in the wind
I feel it blowing across my body
My spirit has awakened from its slumber
My soul laughs and cries

Will I find redemption?
Or will I be lost forever
without mercy or grace?



Author Notes
Thank you Skyangel02 for the perfect picture "Ring of Fire". This happened 39 years ago. I left my first husband to be with him. We are still in love as much today as then. Did I find redemption, mercy and grace? Yes.
