I look outside my window at the gray-stained sky and watch as the clouds roll in the wind. Soon the rain will fall and bring the cold that warms my soul and makes my heart content. With anticipation and now with content, my warm breath clouds the window. I’m elated at the fact my soul no longer has to linger and watch and wait for what the rain will bring. Then suddenly with gentle force, arrives the wind. Through the clouded glass I watch the wind as it whistles through the trees and I am content. Yes, the falling rain did bring the cold and I touch the frosted window with my finger. I draw a heart and watch the watery mist slide down the glass of my soul. I exhale a sigh at the mirrored image of my soul and grab a throw as I shiver with the wind even though all I can do from here is watch the seasons as they change my world and its content. Living life through this shielded glass window Often puts a glare on what life can bring And I wonder what the next life will bring when my time here has ended and my soul has drifted through the stained glass window and fluttered on the whispers of the wind. Silently, as the hours tick on the watch of father time, I reflect on my life’s content. No longer will I sit and watch and wait for what life will bring to me or be forced to accept it's content or that my life is without body or soul. I am the air that I breathe. I am the wind that blows cold and leaves condensation on your window. On the outside looking in through life’s window I feel the damp and cold wind blow and I await the departure of another soul. quatro 10-19-04 This is my first attempt at a complicated style. What say you? |

it is a great pleasure to read someone who loves life so endearingly...realizing it is a gift...and we should make the most of our time here...no matter what perils or strife...it is our choice to live while here or walk with death, missing so very much. Bravo! Enjoyed |
