Wind of change
Born 1959, M, from Stoke, United Kingdom![Wind of change](/storage/story/story_38DE4FE0-1668-7981-7C86-C6F9C8B48A3B-image(297x285-crop).jpeg)
Wind of change
There’s a tree by the brook where we used to lie
Listening to the water go murmuring by
I loved you then, my love was so strong
But death passed me by but took you along
Here in this place where we first pledged our trust
The wind of change blew and blew you to dust
I look in the mirror now and see that I’m old
But remember the laughter, the stories we told
I cool my forehead on the mirror, feel my heart race
And long to remember your beautiful face
Consumed by the past, our love, youthful lust
The wind of change blowing my memories to dust
If we are reborn to the future, a chance to return
Will we remember these lessons we learn
We can never again be all we are now
But we learn to accept our fate somehow
We pay the price because life always must
The wind of change blows and it blows us to dust
Wind of change(Tallisman)

Every single one of us up in our years, fears this poem. Not for ourselves, but for the simple fact we may lose the ones we love, before we die. I teared up on this. And I know Joel did. I still have my Wife and kids, but have lost my parents, siblings and close friends, and the poem covers that too.
I will be dust, and the wind will hit, but I will love until then.
Brilliant, Just flipping brilliant.
Congrats on the Award.
Smiles, Kevin

My heart goes out to you for your loss. Words suck. Time, I hope, will bring mostly good memories to help make it through the day.
Smiles, Kevin

08/31/2024It is a beautifully written poem with a heartfelt insight into the void the loss of a dear one can cause.
From the writing, you can feel immersed in the friendship between the two souls before the wind of death blows one of them away.
Thank you for sharing!
