Wind of Change
By: Sharon Goff
Change is a storm
that blows in threatening
to destroy.
It's demanding;
gale forces blow in
without warning.
It's something we have to fight
when it gets too strong.
If we don't fight, we die.
The dark, swirling clouds
of a ravenous tornado
unwelcoming at first.
Our lives spin
out of control.
It's dark and unpredictable.
Change screams newness of life,
leaving you breathless,
in the making.
We shout because we love
that we now have a
voice
in this fight for survival,
this newfound self-love.
We leave behind the old
silenced voices
and not fighting
for our own damn lives.
I too can be just as bold.
Come, wind.
I am ready.
