Winds of Change

The first breeze of love is fragrant and sweet When the soul's blooms open like a red rose And pulls you towards the fresh petals complete To give you poems, your heart will compose The nights become a sensual bouquet And days turn with memories of the night Then the passage of time sometimes turns gray When winds of love change and the heart takes flight This wind becomes stronger, distant, and cold To roll across a desolate landscape And leave a love cloudy, dusty, and old Trapped in the shadows trying to escape Love can litter hearts with reasons to flee Winds of change will blow away the debris 11/18/20 contest Winds of Change
