The place where she lives Is drifting from her fingers Nothing in her hair that won't turn it grey. Tries to help the world, she wants to do some good Day after day she waits For a bird to come to her feeder. Counting on her starfish To play her little northstar But nothings gonna change When she churns the water again. She just wonders where. Doesn't know the dusk, despite The wind chimes by her bed. Thinks she's known a city But the air-filter scattes her thoughts again. Until she can't even remember Where she ever wanted to go. Never making her way To the silent silhouette on the mountaintop. She cries as this plane flies on by And nothing ever changes for this lost little girl When she churns the water again. |

Hello there, TreeFiddy! This line I found endearing ~ and poignant. ~ "Counting on her starfish To play her little northstar" ~ And the following line was especially appealing to me, as just last night, as a gentle breeze blew through my window, I thought how lovely it would be to have a small windchime in my bedroom!  Warm, welcoming hug, Earth Angel |
