He caught me staring out the window. "What are you watching?" he inquired. "Just the wind", I replied, "and boy, does she look tired." I thought of things I've left undone, words unsaid, and feelings buried, love I had not felt in years, all the answers gone unqueried. There is time now to stop and dream of things forgotten in a past once harried, to see what I tossed to the wind, the sleepless nights and burdens carried. Then I laughed and shook my head with a grin of come-what-may, Wind, my friend, I'm strong again knowing you'll take it all away. |

it's a great poem Dixie but these two lines captured my imagination and I wish they were mine... "Just the wind", I replied, "and boy, does she look tired." and yes you do seem strong |

poems like this bring hope to ears of some, to me it brings a sense of my own procrastination. Haha This isn't just unpriced, its priceless! ![]() I am the two-toed wanderer |
