A Wayward Wind

I feel the wayward wind, Whispering incessantly to me. It comes unbidden but then So many events come unbidden. The wind promises me an afterlife, It threatens death forthwith. I dare to walk forward, Meet my ultimate dreadful destiny Be it sorrow or love Success or mere defeat. The path is etched too murky, The horizon is masked in gloomy mist Hidden from me with such painful cruelty, With sinister shadows and shameful secrets, Neurotic dreads and bitter tears.

Hurricane winds cause death and devastation but can be predicted. A restless wind that yearns to wander, comes through with its darkness rest assure. One day we will all be gone with the wind. Heed the warning, run towards the light! Great poetry, Victor ~Bravo

"The path is etched too murky, The horizon is masked in gloomy mist" The Wayward Wind is a grim soothsayer....Hugs Delice

Powerful imagery, such as the murky path and gloomy, misty horizon, evokes the feelings of fear and dread so well. Interesting and nicely written. :)

Victor, you wrote amazing poetry about the problems we encounter on a daily basis. Your poem beautifully captures the reader's thoughts and emotions. But what are we if we aren't endowed with awareness that pulsates with life force?

Highly emotive write, Victor, that gives form and voice to feelings within. Excellent poem, as always.

What is the source of fear? A thought, a mere bubble, conjured by ego. Sans thought, who are we but blissful awareness, pulsating with aliveness?
