That Shift In The Wind

That Shift In The Wind

Standing on a hill

overlooking my past

to my left

overlooking my future

to the right

Violently thrown to a fro

and in this way

I live

Now the sun in my face

and a small comfort

in my heart

I know that she wanted more

and my needs just a bore

now not as one no more

I am free to to lose on my own

so says the mess I'm in here shown

What shall I do 

and oh the options

what to do

Now stepping out of this old life

and into the new and unknown

I am afraid

But God as my witness

shall I not fail

an will no mercy will death avail

I am strong on the ground unknown

and to the land, this new land, I will roam!

I particularly like the repetition effect given in the first stanza. It really captures the reader.
Love the poem. It is well written and finishes on a beautiful tone.

All of us find ourselves one day or another changing and hoping the new direction is for the better. You have described the pain and the reason. I wish you benign roaming. :)
