In the Winds

The winds of disappointment are cold They sting the face and chafe the heart They fill the eyes with tears Relentless are the winds of fear They alter everything we see They still the path we follow The winds of hopelessness are fierce They offer nothing but despair They tempt the mind to fail Yet winds can change and hearts can heal And fear not always has the win And hope forever lives
