Winds Of Change

~Winds Of Change~
In Yesterday Hurts...
yesterday winds
were always biting
in their bitterness.
They reached right down into my soul
leaving their bitter mark where no one could see,
but I could feel it,
because my life was filled with 'Yesterday Hurts',
right to the brim of my empty glass.
My heart was shattered,
broken by lost loves,
all thrown asunder into yesterday winds.
In Yesterday Hurts...
my soul was damaged,
broken down piece by piece,
like shards of glass.
My hope was crucified
crying out for love
so desperately in need
to find a true heart,
but its cry only echoed in the bitterness
of yesterday winds, and in that wind,
my love was buried,
mourning a love
that was once so beautiful,
but now it's just a memory,
a memory tossed into the wind.
In Yesterday Hurts...
my hearts song was muted, and my sight blinded.
Through the darkness,
the silent melody of my broken heart
echoed into the night,
destined to ride upon yesterday winds.
Today...
below scattered and withered petals of love,
lies what is left of my heart.
Extinguished, the light of love shines no more.
Leaving love shattered and broken,
it cries into the wind,
while hopes and desires,
now shards of sadness,
spent love, and broken dreams,
bleed upon the withered petals of love,
as they float in the wind.
And no matter how badly my heart is damaged,
I will never completely close it,
for there is always a glimmer of hope in life,
I just have to find it!
But...
I will cloak my tears,
kissing 'yesterday hurts' goodbye.
And although damaged,
I will open my hearts door,
to the gentle winds of change,
allowing the breeze to enter,
and welcoming the new love
that will ride in upon it.
Now...
lost in thought,
I stand at the edge of the ocean.
The winds of change bring thoughts of you.
Within the gentleness of that wind,
I feel you caressing my face,
delving deep into the depths of my kiss.
Drenched from the crashing surf,
with my arms out stretched in front of me,
I lift my hands to you, a soul mate,
not yet seen, but felt within ,embracing me.
And it is in the wind of change,
that comforts my soul,
I feel the thoughts of you, thinking of me,
and setting my heart aglow,
as the gentle wind hums its song so sensually.
At This Moment...
the wind of change carries my name
from your tender lips to me,
comforting my soul in the sweetened breeze,
blowing the sands of past yesterdays,
away into nothingness,
with all the hurts forgotten.
In the distance
I can hear the melody of wind chimes
as they sway with the gentle breeze,
and my soul once again,
sings a sweet lullaby,
a serenade of two heartbeats
embracing unborn dreams yet to come,
as the gentle winds of change,
bring forth a new love.
I will use this gentle wind as a platform,
to carry my message of love to you.
So...
upon the wind of change,
I send to you my words of,
... 'I love you'...
hoping that they reach you,
and praying that you will hear them,
as they float within
the heart of the wind.
