I survived

patience , persistence , never giving up

Secretive, crying melody is crawling to my veins

A frantic feeling is wrapping around my heart 

Shivered, trembled, lost in wonder

Time packed his hours and flew to the unknown

Baffling air is striding and shrugging his shoulders

Blurring clouds are halting, imprisoning the threads of recognition

Rippling waves are sailing from my shores 

The vacant house is wrecked 

The dusty pages are burned 

The windows of fate are opened

I glanced from the ruins and winked to the wild blue yonder

Tremendous imagery -- I especially like the lines The vacant house is wrecked /The dusty pages are burned/
The windows of fate are opened
Wonder last line of redemption.

very well-written indeed. as I understand it, it is about resistance, and awaiting fate to turn up. humans are very baffling species, they want everytninhin a night, they cann't wait, but the pleasure is in waiting, I know it is hard and painful, but only those who wait will feel the beer and skittles. battling life is the only positive motivation which keeps humans alive, if there will be no battles and struggles , life is meaningless, you have to fight to be whta you want to. very good poem, well done.

Written with care, full of imagery..

Beautiful poem. I love the way you personify nature to express emotions and actions. I read recently that when one door closes another one opens, and that the past, while it shapes who we are, cannot, or rather should not keep us banging at its door to reopen since we should be entering the new open door, "the wild blue yonder." Excellent poem!

I enjoyed how you personified Time in this poem.

Time writes momentary names
on the face of frozen frames.
