Touched by a Breeze

Life has been in constant flux these past months. Thank you to all who have patiently waited to see me once again. The photo below taken from Public Domain Pictures with added creativity on my part.

Change

years are diminished by a miasma
of hazy thoughts and feelings
swept along by the wind
settling for no reason
inside your mind
inside your heart

like a detective in quest
of answers you review the matter
time and again peeling back layers
trying in vain to reach the core
only to find
it empty

only it is your inability to see
a clouded vision of debris
a continuum of detritus
collecting quietly
disguised in comfort
congealing
at your feet

but as the wind becomes a breeze
it beckons you to come
to engage in your life
in living
to become
who you are

  1. Beautiful Verse Reene… Sometimes it takes more than a breeze to shift our senses so that we can walk away from the debris to plant our feet on firm fresh ground.
    Life is for Living and should be lived with no holding back of self.

    Sending huge hugs your way Renee.. And I loved your artwork and footprints within it..
    Hugs. Sue ❤

    1. Thank you Sue. You have been quite encouraging to me and I am sure so many others I want you to know how greatly it is appreciated. So, the last journey of my life will be something very new and hopefully I will have doors opened I could not have imagined. Sending hugs your was as well! xoxo

  2. Renee, this is lovely, and the ending is full of hope. I can relate!

    (My turn to be a little scarce for awhile…. pain issues, while working on an exciting project…. Hope you’re rested up and feeling as well as possible.)

  3. We live with the trade winds here on the north end of Hawaii Island. Your poem reminds me a lot of the cycles here, and how our bodies, in sync with nature, respond. Right now we are in the doldrums, no wind, high humidity. We await the winds’ return, for the burst of energy received is undeniable. aloha Renè. Good to see you back! ❤️
