it is there, and then it’s not
the brewing winds of change
feel as if they
are sure to blow
and then they go away
churning,, swirling,,
convoluted,,
blended, mixed, and strained
leaving twisted,, tousled me
aloft,, adrift,, un-chained
no farther forward
not tossed aback
but strangely, not where i began
tell me all this is not some part
of an evil twisted plan…..

Paisley, I’ve been gone a bit this summer, but now you’re not around! You are so missed! I miss you! This poem gives me such a feel of floating - I hope I’m not off the mark. Floating with a current and getting pulled every way. I’ve finally gotten back around to writing again - I would love to know what you think - go to my writtenword page and scroll down to pick. http://amarettogirl.squarespace.com/the-written-word/

I wish the wind would carry me away from here right now.

I think sometimes you get warm-up gusts just to get you ready for the real wind that will leave you suddenly not in Kansas anymore!

the winds of change! I know them well… somedays they have us
taking on the whole world and others we are back in a safe cocoon.
beautiful thoughts sweetie x0×0

I just caught up on your amazing poetry. It’s frustrating to want change and then to not. Trials of my past still get in my way in moving forward. The post below was very intuitive and yet some were sad. Nice works Jodi.

sometimes i think the winds of change never have a plan…they are simply indiscriminate about who, and what, gets caught up in the debris they inevitably blow up and swirl around us, our only option to deal with it, weathering the moment and the fall out as best we can

If it be change, let it be positive! A gale bluster climax into calm!

There are times the winds blow hard..there are times when you think it has stopped..but the air of change never sits still even if you can’t feel it at the time..

I think the winds of change taunt us just a little: enticing and repelling us in equal measure. Change is one of the hardest things in the world to deal with and I think that’s where the ‘evil plan’ bit comes in. Even as we seek to embrace change, we strive to resist it. Such a brilliant poem.

So often we fight the winds of change; just when he is about to blow fiercely. So often, he knows our fears - and simply turns directions or sends us a gentle breeze instead. Very nicely done; I know of the frustration; so often we are feel we are so ready to embrace change - after agonizing over it for so long - but then it simply does not materialize; like preparing for a hurricane; bording windows - for the storm to drizzle out in sea. Thanks for sharing - again beautifully written. PLL, CordieB.

What a cool metaphor!
Those curtains are the exact ones I want in the house I dream of near the ocean where I will live by myself!

This could not have been more relevant to my life right now if I had written it myself (which I could not have). It was beautiful.

The winds of change can be quite fickle. They tantalise and taunt. Then, they don’t really seem to care if you drift with them or not. But if that wind is more in hurricane mod, that is quite another matter. You get bowled along, almost thrown into a new place. I have the strangest feeling that this is the kind of wind you are hoping for.

I am number 16–saying something new is the challenge…maybe play some dylan–that’s it

You know the plan of the win is to hurl grit in out eyes so that other people appear to look better … but we know … don’t we ? LYM. xoxox

Oh drat forgot the d in wind … sorry Darling … wind must be blowing here

Everything seems like it’s going to be alright, and then it fucks up again. Life is bullshit.
July 15th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I could tell you that but I can give no guarentees as to the truth of the matter
July 15th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Let go and allow yourself to be carried along by the wind. Who knows where it might take you.

I think it may be a sign of someone evolving…
