~ Winds of Change ~

 

 

 

A sudden gust of restless air

came out of the north

swirling around with static fingers

filled with the heat of change

and rising up off the sun-scorched blacktop

are shimmering heat ghosts

haunting the morning air

the images could have been a mirage

the furnace heat was distorting

making them ripple

as if they were a reflection

seeming to evaporate

before your eyes

then reappearing

in the hard light of day

undulating as if on a wild glissade

second by second, gaining speed

threatening the day’s balance

a haunting restlessness

ripples across my skin

arriving on the unexpected

winds of change

If your heart gets a kiss from that wind you will be in love with that shadow coming inside the mist to take you in his arms...

Highly imaginative approach to changes observed
and assimilated in the course of a poet's day.
At least, Carole, that's how I read and feel and
enjoy this marvelous poem. -gene.

Carole, you created an atmosphere of mystery for me -- mirages created when the sun's intense heat, tarmac and thermals conspire to hand us illusions -- or were they truly specters roaming in search of answers never to be found -- this is an exercise in providing many possibilities for the reader to select from -- choosing the one that best fits their personal mood and beliefs -- well done my dear friend -- peace and love -- Jon Michael

Carole,
Tremendous intensity and energy in this poem from first line to last, never letting up, driving on and on, "a haunting restlessness" is perfect for its summary.

I love the way this takes us through the minutes of a day while our hearts and bodies compensate and try to deal with what is. Very nicely done and love the format.
