Poet’s Corner – Cold Winds Blow

Spring may be on the horizon, but we still have cold, stormy days. Robin Clark reflects in a poem.

The cold winds blow 
Across the lonely sea:
No work that pays; 
No dolls to play;
Ruled by abnormalcy.

The cold winds blow 
Across our quiet sea: 
No fish to catch; 
No eggs to hatch; 
No matter how we plead.

The cold winds blow; 
Don’t look at what you see:
He says we’re great;
Promoting hate… 
How greater can we be?

The cold winds blow, 
Across the troubled sea:
Our sails deflate;
Asphyxiate; 
People, just like me.

The cold winds blow; 
Dreams buried out at sea:
Treasures lost; 
Outrageous cost-
Paid with democracy.

And should winds still, 
We’ll know the chill, 
From that which came our way:
Can’t see the sun.
No longer one. 
We sold our brighter Day. 
We’ll have a King. 
No longer sing. 
Truth gone, only decay. 
There’ll be no choice 
To use our voice 
Because we didn’t say…

I love my land. 
It’s worth my stand, 
To blow the winds away.
When cold winds blow…
