Wind Change
Alisha Merritt Williams 1988 (Charleston,)
When will the wind change? What is the mind of my compass?
I've walked endless miles and believed for centuries
Where is it I am supposed to be?
Smoldering desires ashed over time
Became unsure to really know who I am and what's mine.
The evil queen depended on a mirror for wishing undefeat.
A reflection of self-aflicted horror twinkles no hope, and implanted deceit.
Has the compass reached that destination?
Should the poison spat from the atters tongue
Transition to my youth fountain.
From the cursed seed
The wind changed time in need for one inevitabally pointed to freed.
About this poem
In all honesty, I had no idea where this was going. I wrote what I was thinking at the time and in my head it seemed to make perfect sense. Steps change always in any direction unknown. We live moment to moment and go wherever the wind should take us.
