"Yesterdays Wind"

 

 

      "Yesterdays Wind"

 

Yesterday's wind upon my face...

Billowing clouds, of tattered lace;

Gusting just... enough to bring

Old memories of forgotten things.

 

Swirling tints of grey and blue...

Cold hints of winter's hue;

Falling sheets of frozen ice,

Chilling thoughts...that still entice.

 

Drops against the window pane,

Flowing past all of earth's remains;

Icy reminders...of the past,

And heartaches that will always last.

 

Each new winter...does embrace,

A chilling memory...of your face,

And the coldness of a home...

When a frozen heart, is left alone'

 

With yesterday's wind upon the face,

And frozen thoughts...time can't erase;

Wanting relief, from winter's pain...

And spring to show...its face again.

At times, your work here is very, very good. This poem, Kathie, I find, quite remarkable! I see that it has some age on it, but, it looks and feels brand new to me.

I have been on the site for a long time. I go back now and then to see how long a write has been on as I have gotten so many new friends over the years. Kathie

[Coyote Poetry]

I do understand the poem. Lost brothers and friend in August. My birthday month. Funny how the months and seasons do bring back memory. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry dear Poet.

Yes, Febuary, Valentine's Day, my mother's birthday. She was the original Valentine. Christmas, the death of my dad, he passed away on a Christmas Eve many years ago. I also lost a child on a Christmas Eve. That time of the year I try to concentrate just on Jesus. Kathie

We must find good things to think about. I have a week off. My birthday week. Will take my daughter and grandsons to Iron Mountain. Need a fun activity for us to find peace and reasons to be alive.

This is absolutely beautiful. I could feel nature's wind/beauty by your choice of words and vivid description. Excellent read.

Kathie this is a beautiful if sad and lonely write. It does spark the imagination and seem like you want that new love in your life. or at least the pretense of one. :lol: The piece flows perfectly and as always done in a wonderful way that
you have
