Winds of Change

Suddenly the wind whirled and came along Bringing shocking change, instead of a song Bad news arrived of a heartbreaking death So hard to believe, as it took my breath First phase of grief has taken over me Shock has prevented tears I cannot see Again, the question ‘why’ consumes my mind Good people taken, no answers to find Last words said to me still do remain I know one day, tears will fall like rain I hurt from the loss and reminders too Of all tragic deaths that I've been through But, I know you are watching from up high So, I will continue in light, to fly Heidi Sands 11/16/20 Placed 3rd in the Winds of change sonnet poetry contest.
