Behind The Scenes

Living In Oz

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I talk of the angels

And you point out the wires

When I’m feeling fragile

You make me feel inspired

You help me believe

In the things I can’t see

When I’m feeling weary

You offer reprieve

You show me the magic

In the curve of your smile

When things get sporadic

You hold me like a child

When I need attention

You offer applause

Is it too much to mention

You’re like the wizard of Oz

Taking me to the clouds

In a hot air balloon

Soaring above the ground

Hanging out under the moon

Falling into the notion

Love is not a façade

Pulling me in like the ocean

Or the mighty hand of God

    Dear Ki - You've been 'In Front of the Scenes' every day so much that I think your 'alter ego' is wearing your fingertips off. I can't imagine, you as an 'observational writer' - have the time to observe all of your topics - you're terrific. btw; "To Be Loved ~ Oh what a feeling ~ Someone to care ~ Someone to share lonely hours during moments of despair." - My Respect - Jk.in.l.a.

  • Whoaaaa, this was stunning! Loved it!
