love and loss
It could be about a lover leaving or a dying parent. Whatever gets you through.
BLOWN AWAY
©Ricki E. Bellos
In this window I can still see myself
As if I were somebody else
I move in no set direction
A storm brews in my reflection
Oh now the blowing wind
Begins
I could tell by the look on your face
You were stranded in some darkened place
You were leaving and I could not go
I was crying but couldn’t let it show
Oh hear the wind howl
Out loud
I thought more time would make me strong
There isn’t time enough to last that long
I was ready when the day had come
But not when day was done
I have dreams that do not include you
I believe they will someday come true
What I need is a redeeming diversion
To erase this latest desertion
Oh how the wind blows
So cold
Oh how the wind knows
My soul
