walking the surreal

there are days
when a lonesome wind beckons
and stirs my bones with longing

for what?
I cannot say

but the ache settles deep
and I am overcome
restless

I need to move
to do
to experience
to be

today is such a day

but I am bound
chained to the desk of obligation
and cannot answer

still

the wind calls

S.A.T.

Susan, I really know what you mean, I feel that way, as well, but I have to get back to work now.  Great expressiveness!  PS:  waiting to hear about the basement.... .....jo

Thanks jo, and I'll get to work on that.  It really is quite funny, both haha and in a strange way.

Paul, I'm glad I could give you a moment's breath.  I find browsing the forum periodically helps keep me from going too stir crazy in the office.

Enjoy your freedom tonight

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Wow, do I ever feel that.  My wife say's she knows when it's eating at me because I pace the house like a caged panther.

You nailed it, my friend ... glad to have the company.

Thanks, jwesley.  I wrote this in like, mere minutes as I sat at my desk today longing to escape the cage.  Looks like I'm in good company
