Wind Across My Mind

by Jackie

The wind moves across my mind
Thoughts in time
Begin to rhyme.
Letters form
with words I mourn,
my mood a jumble born--
from this commotion.
Suddenly,
Comes released emotion.
Expressions of sorrow
from the ages I borrow
calms my confused mind;
peace I find.

A Promise Broken

On a hilltop sits
a single stone
winter began
or did it end
deaths journey
travailed alone
Snow falls
branch breaks
unable to bend
My love made a promise
swearing to never leave me
life taught this to be an
unrealistic decree
alone I grieve
Sorrow engulfs me
I see the meanness of it
One by one
they all have left
I listen as they call
inviting me to join them
I know that love
can never be
enduring, never ending
with loyalty stay
Not in this life
no possible way
There is no one
Who can be trusted
I truly believe
To promise otherwise
a wicked evil con
To conclude I say
A promise to your love
To never leave
truly is to deceive.
