Hey. Wrote this last night, hope some of you like it. I may revise the ending, it seems very cliche. I don't like where it went.

The passenger seat may as well be empty,
when there's no one else I'd rather talk to.

Sometimes I leave the window down,
and hope that my words will escape,
and a gust of wind,
may bring them to your doorstep,
on your way to school.

Where hundreds of heads,
see the brown of your eyes,
and drown in them.

And you'll smile,
and I'll go numb,
knowing I was once all they could see.

Not knowing if I'll see them again,
knowing I was once home,
not knowing where I live.

Wondering if I should find home,
or just roll up the window.

I'd leave the window open...

sometimes our words take us to places we don't intend to go, yet, there is great need for the spirit to break out and be one with the human mind and body...in that, we grow.  

wonderful write, enjoyed.

DeJa~

I really like THIS idea ...

'Sometimes I leave the window down,
and hope that my words will escape,
and a gust of wind,
may bring them to your doorstep'


... poetically inspiring, it is~
