Winds Brings Gusts of Change
by Cindy Georgakas
[author’s site]
Blustery winds
accentuated by
tempestuous chill in the air,
ignite tumultuous waters.
The Raven takes flight
offering insight and healing power,
flying, creating equanimity.
Dark like the night
and full of light, holding death,
longevity and fertility; where the circle of life
continues ….
holding space for the void, where creation is fertile.

Wow, Gabriela, I forgot about this poem I submitted and it was a lovely surprise this morning to re-read it. Isn’t it funny how life is fluid and changing and we re-read things when we too need to hear them again?! I truly appreciate the opportunity to share my work on this wonderful platform. Thank you so kindly and for a bright way to start my day. 💖
