CHANGE OF MIND


CHANGE OF MIND

There was
A whisper
In the wind...
It spoke your 
Name
Saying you 
Were coming
To see
Me...

Finally!
I rejoiced.
Calling my 
Friends 
To myself 
I told them 
What the 
Wind had
Said!

Hurray!
They danced
Happy
You would
Soon be
In our
Presence.

We were to
Have
Feasts,
Celebrations
Of the
Grandest kind...

You would be
Regailed
With the finest
Of everything!

Alas,
The wind dropped
A whisper
Softer than 
Any other...

It said
You had changed
Your mind
And were not
Coming...

Humph!
We all 
Exclaimed
Of one 
Mind and heart...

By changing
Your mind,
Yours was
The loss
Of the biggest
Kind!
