Warm Winds of Wisdom

Upon a drunken path I seemed to be confronting doom Upon my shoulders I seemed to be carrying a cloud of doom There I fell crumpled and spiritually shattered Coddling a heart beaten and battered Lonely pleas of mercy escaping me Trembling inside Begging to be free Warm winds of wisdom sweeping me away as New York Swagga approached with a smile Whisperin', "Let's talk for awhile" I reached out in cautious distress Circumstance being our first test His open ears and honest eyes being my beacon of light His warrior mentality kept me safe that night Warm winds of wisdom loved me until I could love myself Warm winds of wisdom dusting off my heart and removing it from its lonely shelf Nurturing loyalty shaping me Chivalrous compassion guiding me to the girl I can be Within warm winds of wisdom I have grown Within warm winds of wisdom I have found a place I am proud to call home From the streets to the sky There be not one reason to cry Upon a drunken path all seemed lost My soul had been sacrificed at the highest cost A feeble prayer was all i could say Whirling warm winds of wisdom forever blessed me that day From stumbling to sobriety From cynical to serenity From fear to everlasting sanction My life today has exceeded every expectation

Thank you both so very much. This piece was inspired by my husband as he was the knight in shining armor that brought about the winds of change within my life.
