Lost

You fall like a feather to the ground I can no longer blame the wind For your change in direction You slip through my fingers Each time I reach out The wind takes you You're willing You are Lost

Dear Jessica, i bet this is the first time im reading your work, and i absolutely loved your nonet. The flow and depth and how you’ve written “ I can no longer blame the wind For your change in direction” soul hitting line really! And “ Each time I reach out The wind takes you” i felt that! Such a heartfelt nonet. Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your win. Wishing you beautiful holidays

The vageries of life beyond our control.? Choices cause; effects once started Move haphazardly, strongly rightly? Or maybe wrongly?

Short but very emphatic with a metaphor well used. I like the line: ‘ you slip through my fingers’

This is a beautiful Nonet, Jessica. I especially love the line "I can no longer blame the wind". The first poem I submitted here was a nonet, so I am particularly fond of them. Welcome to PoetrySoup!
