Tossed in the Wind Foreboding dark storm clouds encompass my soul Suppressing all my dreams and my every goal An evil that burns my heart with hatred and shame The memories haunt my dreams every night just the same Innocence and joy ripped away in a moment so brief Yet years and years of crying and tears have brought no relief My heart feels like a leaf being tossed in the wind I just keep wondering if this will ever end A ways down the road as I gaze back upon my life I see I allowed it to be defined by my strife Finally the bitterness begins to fade into light Just as a majestic sunrise vanquishes the night Unconditional love that must have divine power Washes away the hate like a cool spring rain shower The clean canvas of my heart that for so long has been black Is now open and vulnerable for love to be painted back Forgiveness and love seem entwined all in one Inseparable, just as the warmth and the sun. How can he still hold the paintbrush in his hand Playing with my heart like a wave on the sand My life feels like a leaf being tossed in the wind I just keep wondering if this will ever end. ~Angela Dawn |
