COLD WINDS

Reflecting:  There isn't one divorce that doesn't make you feel like you are in a storm and you are chilled to the bone.  It takes sometimes months and even years for the cold winds of divorce to finally pass over.  I am down again today.

THE COLD WINDS OF DIVORCE

The cold winds of divorce are upon me,
Sometimes so blinding that I can not see.

The harsh nights of loneliness,
Always seem to end in sleeplessness.

While in the icy days of grey,
No one ever seems to know what to say.

The sun has dropped off the ends of the earth,
As the cold winds of divorce seem to give birth.

Wandering around no knowing which way to turn,
When you need to learn all that you can learn.

The constant feeling of helplessness is brand new,
As the bone-shattering chill is always with you.

Our thoughts whip around at dangerously high speeds,
While in the eye of a hurricane we must plant many seeds.

We try to keep warm as the winds batter us about,
We have to take the time to work it all out.

Although it seemed they would forever last,
The cold winds of divorce has finally passed.
