Wind howls through my mind,
tearing a treacherous path,
driving, destroying, demolishing…
The calm, cultivated landscape
erodes before me.
What can this mean?
What’s next?
A breeze speaks whisperingly
of a land too close to see.
“Come…”
And through the howling wind,
I go.

Nicely done!❤️
I like the idea of the mind as “a land too close to see”.
The wind in a whisper. So evocative, Crystal. You have me thinking now. Thanks for that!
Ah to see and seek the oasis spot amongst the prevailing winds…..
Enjoyed this very much!
You listen to the whisper and step forward with courage…life is a wild journey!
Intrusive thoughts can feel like a howling wind that one has to travel through to get to a land of peace. Wonderfully written! ❤
I like that you go, courageously, through the howling wind to see what awaits!
Sometimes the quickest way out is through. Trust is essential!
