Title: Listening to the Wind
Author: Charlie
Date Submitted: 1/5/2009

 
Poem: Voices inside the wind
Kept me living in shadows
My head banging
Against the wall
Making the same mistakes
Piling up on the shores of regret...

Mumbling in the gutter
Nothing I hated more -
Those voices inside the wind

Somehow I crossed
The turbulent waters
Many years ago…
With tentative steps

The voices stopped
Replaced by the numbness
Of so many yesterdays

Finally,
In the spirit of tender whispers
Speaking greatly, across centuries
In voices soft and unafraid
I found some peace
Listening to the wind…...
