SPU Poetry Contest #1: Life's wind

in poetsunited •  7 years ago 

Inspired by these lyrics from A birthday Limerick by @madevi -

Lifes wind in my head....
...resisting the forces of changing

Life's Wind

Winds of change?
More like winds of the same
Ancient spider webs
In dark corners remain
An eddy current circling
Close to a drain
A congregation of jetsam,
Detritus, remembered pain
Meditation teaches -
Feed it into the flame
But my continued inability
Just adds to my shame

FRESH AIR!
At last
Leaving the tunnel
That leads from the past
Now options are doors
Open, welcoming and vast
"Come in" they cheer,
"Step through?" they ask
A deep breath fills me
Against life's wind, I'm steadfast
Now life's air readies me
For a future approaching too fast

            The description of the tunnel in the past was quite creative. Enjoyed that it transitioned mid-way. I had not realised that there was a rhyme in the first stanza - it is done so effortlessly.
