Ink In the Wind

I tremble when I hear the voice of the wind saying,
“why should I even care
if my actions close the eyes
of those who yield to me?”
and all that I know
is that here I stand with pen in hand
in a world of my own making,
contemplating
a potential stalemate.

The time has come and whispers to me
from the lips of the universe
that the stairs of the fiercest storm
are covered with everything
that I have hidden in my mind,
confusion attempts to run
through my veins creating a madness
with fingers
oh so unkind.

I gaze at the warm sun and wonder how
I lost the desire
I had in my younger days
to bravely sing to the world
from a throat that had not forgotten
how it feels to stand in the gap
or what it takes to expose winds
that do not care
who their actions destroy.

With pen in hand I speak to the wind
with words the same as if
I called upon
twelve thousand angels
whose wings float upon each gale
as if they were merely
part of a beautiful dream,
once again I feel safe
in this world of my own making,
my trembling ends.

Beautiful, but that was to be determined even before I began reading... :) I love how your own words make you feel at peace, safe in this world. When I feel lonely or scared... I write, it definitely does help make the trembling stop. God bless you for your passionate words of wisdom.

Thank you Laury. I have had to step out of the world of my own making since I wrote this. It has been hard to accept a world full of many people, something I am not accustomed to. I have managed and realize I have much to be happy about. XX

Beautiful flow along with wonderful imagery. I love the way you express how one can find both solace and solitude in a world that they can create.

You, certainly, captured the essence of writing yourself into your own world. This was a beautifully written piece and, I am sure, something we all at Writer's Cafe can identify with!

A beautifully written about the will and inspiration all writers get just to write something at all. Nicely done.

[Audrey Howitt]

For me this poem speaks loudly about our ability to create our own solace rather than to seek it externally--Brava dear Neva!
