The Wind At The Window
Whispers Wild Wonders
Lifetime goals; to be prepared
My daddy was, my mom was scared
And I acquire to make my mark
Build a fire, maintain a spark
Only succeed in keeping chaos in motion
Trying to find peace, in life’s crazy commotion
Aching to recall what happiness was
Believing again in things like, Santa claus
The power to try trusting again, as a child
Letting my imagination, completely run wild
I’ve gotten myself trapped in this revolving door
Where nothing matters or makes sense anymore
The sadness and stress has finally overtaken
There’s a feeling of despair and of being forsaken
Forgotten and lost in a world flying by
I don’t even remember the reasons to try
Getting back up now, just doesn’t make sense
I’ve lost the battle, left without a defense
So I breathe in and out, one thing that I can do
Until that moment, when I stop doing that too
Surrender to the quiet and simply let go
Like the rain in the fall, becoming the snow
It’s all second nature, it’s the way we were made
One day we transform, and just fade away

We all have our various views of life and living.
This was so poignant and certainly very emotional! I loved it!
Sold on the first two lines. Resonated. Loved this, Kelli.
Now you're sounding like me, Kelli. You should know that you matter to me. I'm guessing that as the comments come rolling in, you will find more & more people telling you that.
Breathe, and write. Inhale, exhale, and write. Your writing matters.
Lovely and surreal. It truly makes you think. Truly a nicely written piece.
