Winds Of Change Poem by Anitah Muwanguzi

The color of the leaves is changing

no longer green, but leaning towards brown

the wind is blowing stronger than a hurricane

but the heat remains sizzling, hotter than ever.



Rain falls, but no longer crystal clear

it is a murky mockery to the fresh that it used to be.



Time will not stop, the rush of the ocean will still be heard

the stars stand guard over the dark, angry gloomy sky

the momento of stability, hope and all that is beautiful



I am paralyzed by the rush of emotion,

swamped by that one never ending feeling of you,

knowing that time will not change this anticipation


This knowing,

that long after the colours have turned gray

the light within your soul shall still light up my own

And together we will be stronger

long after the seasons have defied

and changed all that is dear and familiar



Your star shall shine brightest and all roads will always lead

right back to you



The rain shall fall, hurricanes will rage, the sun shall smoke and

sizzle, the cold will blast with ice for veins

Storms, floods, ideology, time, distance, illusions,

lies....................

All roads will always lead right back to you

Defying the winds of change
