Walking Against the Wind

A prose poem
Walking against the wind…
It's like fighting a monstrous force as cloud shadows scuttle by
Now I’ve reached my corner and turn my back to the monster
Suddenly it becomes a gentle breeze blowing my little ketch
Back to home port
Where I was fighting an impenetrable wall, now l all but skip home.
The wind is even gentler now,
Soft as a kitten’s paw or a dove’s feather
As I enter my driveway having fought against odds and won with God’s help
Praise God for the winds and the clouds they bring
Praise God for my lovely home and memories of love within it
I hope and pray that you have enjoyed this prose poem and that God will keep you and your loves happily together.
