The Cold Wind of Change

the blast of cold wind
in the ‘hood of Dreaming
changes everything
as we morph into oneness
sharing the forbidden love and humour
transcending adversity
with lots of laughter and the power of mateship

love blossoms in the weave of time
like lines of tender verse in full flight
like a soul in blissful solitude
finding solace
and the mystery
of life
in my orbit

i feel
the tender hand of reason
as I walk
in the shower of light
rebuilding shattered lives
with generosity of spirit
this autumn day of delicate beings

i rake
the fallen leaves
with gusto
absolutely desperate
to save the magic blossom
from the wrath of complex emotions
under the darkening sky
