Change

Change

The rain is falling now,

it cleanses the sorrow.

 

Shades of brown and blue,

painful thoughts are pushing through.

The agony rises and tears like a saw,

the horizon is shallow but reaps so raw.

 

Wait. Wait. Will change come soon?

Trials of life are my boon.

Experiences are plentiful,

wisdom now soars while deafining silence counters.

 

We sought no remorse for the pain,

our energies now drained.

Stand and be noticed,

change is at hand.

 

Not here nor there to hide your truth,

I could have saved us from this heartful youth.

The rain has stopped now,

too much time has it borrowed.

Larry, I have read through all the poems in your blog including the latest addition. I like your style which seems to be developing with each new poem.
Thank you for the comment on my Poem Shell Shock. It was based on an elderly gentleman who survuved the Great War. I was 19 years in the Army and saw service in Oman during the conflict in Dhofar in the early 1970´s but nothing in comparison to the First World War.
I think our military background gives us a perspective on life which we can draw on in our descriptive poetry and prose. I look forward to reading more of your work. Thanks. Keith
