                        the winds of change
                        they blow on by
                        lifting the leaves of my life into the sky
                        twirling them, mixing them
                        setting the down
                        some are familiar
                        others are new
                        new opportunities
                        old fears
                        yet my heart is still
                        mourning the past
                        that what once was
                        as I sit and stare
                        at the start of the future
                        wishing it wasn't here
                        changes wrought
                        by another's greed
                        changes brought
                        by another's deed
                        hurtful words and shameful acts
                        exact a high price
                        The winds of change
                        have once more blown through
