Winds of Change
~~~
There are smallish moments
When our lives seem to exhale
And we are left short of breath
Unseen is our next step
And the stumble that befalls us
Puts us on a different path
One, yet to be dreamed of
That holds a neon future
Hidden from where we stood
Not found on any old map
Mere chance becomes mother
And Eden is born anew
In a place unforeseen
Lives this other dream
Borne on the winds of change

Nicely written…The thought first came into my mind after a read was “Enjoy little moments in life”
Thanks, Athira! That sums it up nicely!
My pleasure Brad
I love these ‘on the precipice’ periods of life when all possibilities are on the table. I have found these to be the times when most growth occurs.
Thanks, Beth! They are magical moments for sure!
You’ve written about something that is essential to our lives and the title reminds me of that song by The Scorpions that came out when the Iron Curtain fell and the Berlin Wall was torn apart by the people, not with hatred but with love, and the guards had to put away their rifles and smile. No one can stop the winds of change…
Thank you, my good friend! We have witnessed amazing things in our lives.
Without a doubt but there are things I wish I had not witnessed at all. But one cannot change the course of history.
I found hope weaved throughout your beautiful lines. I believe we grow when the winds change direction! Marvelous, my dear friend! ❤
I agree that with change comes growth. Thank you, my dear friend! ♥
it’s amazing to think of the lifelong consequences of some decisions that are made in a second..
Thanks, Jim! That is an interesting perspective. I guess one could say our lives are just a long series of consequences.
preceded by many moments of indecision…
Such is the beauty and unpredictability of life. One minute we might make one choice, and five minutes later, we could choose something else.
That’s the fun of it all. Thank you, Pete!
Such an alluring piece of writing.
Hope to read some more from your side.😊
Thank you, Architect! Kind of you to say!
