A NEW WIND IS BLOWING
A new wind is blowing
It is coming from a different direction;
It’s fresh and strong
Blowing away old frustrations
The wind is blowing through the house
Blowing open a door that cannot close
Pent up feelings disappearing through vents
The window fog blown away
I look out onto the street and I see a world of possibilities
I am not tied to my unhappiness
My fears crumble in the wind
A flame of confidence re-igniting in my soul
The wind blows away all disguises
Leaving me unencumbered to see the truth
My path swept clear of obstacles
Revealing the way forward
I start to follow the yellow brick road
And suddenly I cannot stop
I have started on a new journey
Leaving tentative plans behind
The wind is blowing in my back
Its force pushing me to follow my resolve
I am standing on top of the mountain
And I am no longer afraid to fall
The wind… will catch me;
The wind stirring my soul
The wind of change.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem - you guessed it, is about making life changes. I wrote this poem after I made the decision to go in a new direction. As you can tell from the poem, it felt so good and such a relief to make these changes and to finally get unstuck from a situation which was no longer working for me - like a breath of fresh air! The poem also expresses how just one change can lead to an unstoppable roller coaster of changes, which are often long overdue. Most importantly, this change was the opportunity for me to come back to the best version of myself - which is easy to lose and hard to re-find when it's gone (temporarily). My hope is that this poem gives other people the courage they need to move forward, if they are considering a positive, long overdue change of their own! Warmest wishes, Felicia

Resolve. It is perhaps the greatest trait. It speaks to one who is brave and has knowledge and sees the future as a chance to build a legacy of good. I liked this piece and the metaphors chosen were engaging.
