John Gondolf Poet Sonnet

Winds of Change

What whirling winds of change are in the air
as tender hearts collide amongst the clouds
emotions felt that fairest souls will share
when hidden from the ever present crowds.

what once a budding friendship turned to love
surprising even faithful tender hearts
now drifts among the clouds so high above
and deeply pierced by Cupid’s cosmic darts.

as gentle love is felt from far away
the tender whispered words from one so fair
drift in the clouds and hold my heart in sway
as whirling winds of change are in the air.

‘twas only yesterday I felt alone
but now along the wind a love has grown.

Jenna Logan November 17, 2020 at 6:59 AM It seems we've both posted sonnets founded on loneliness. Your lines are filled with melancholy, written with love and yearning, John. John Gondolf November 17, 2020 at 7:32 AM Thank you, Jenna, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. I enjoyed your sonnet, I think it holds more emotion than mine. Hugs.

Silent One November 17, 2020 at 6:21 AM Lovely sonnet about dedication in friendship that turns to love, these winds are always the best ones.. I know so many people in love with their friend, but unable to tell them.. John Gondolf November 17, 2020 at 7:30 AM Thanks, Silent, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. I have always felt it important to let a person know how we feel. I failed to do so about 35 years ago and a good friend of mine from college passed away without ever knowing; this is one of the biggest regrets of my life. John
