    Poem Commentary

    I was googling for a graphic to go along with this poem for my website when I came accross a painting by a young artist named Jenedy Paige.  She had painted a canvas titled the exact same as my poem.  I emailed her seeking permission to use her piece with my poem agreeing to link to her site as well as give her due credit on her artwork.

    We got to know one another through numerous exchanges of emails and found we had much in common becoming long distance friends;  she from California while I currently live in Alabama.  Long story short, this very talented and amazing woman sent me as a gift her exquisite painting.  I am blessed!  - Deborah

    The Winds of Change

    The Winds of Change
    (Deborah Taylor)

     The winds of change come blowing in
    they toss me here and there
    I never know where I'll end up
    but really, I don't care

     Gypsy blood runs through these veins
    it seems I can't stand still
    Like the bee who robs the pollen
    I never have my fill

     Why can I not just be content
    to travel this road I'm on
    Why must I always seek anew
    the tune of a brand new song

     The winds of change come blowing in
    they tempt me with each gale
    They whisper of adventure
     like a leaf caught up I sail

     My life is one big whirlwind
    there is so much left to see
    When the winds of change come callin'
    I shake these shackles free

     Once again I feel that itch
    and you know it must be scratched
    I test the wind and test my wings
    Free to fly at last

     The winds of change come blowing in
    they toss me here and there
    I never know where I'll end up
    But I love the journey there.

    I enjoyed this poem, I think we all wish we had a little of the gypsy blood in us. I loved the last verse. Good write, TS

    Thank you, Bandit. Isn't the painting done by Jenedy great. I just love her work.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
