I set in the window to watch the night sky.
I find myself asking the stars why.
Clouds float across the moon.
I know that morning comes all too soon.
Forcing me to face yet another day.
With mouths that talk with nothing to say.
So for now I set in the window.
Calmness around me that I rarely know.
Hidden in darkness feels safe and right.
I wish there was no end to this night.
But I see the faint touch of sun on the edge.
As I sit perched on my window ledge.
Suspended sweetly from reality for a while.
I can’t stop my lips from forming a small smile.
Here in my window, just me and the sky.
I know I’m not alone and I don’t need to know why.

Its been a long time. I'm at college and doing good. Just thought I would post to let you know I'm still alive. PF wishes.

Oh Aunt Linda don't you lie. You just LOVE my dark dreary stuff. Lol.

Hmmm.  I love your talent Felicia & I DO love how your emotions are always out in front for those you love.  The dark dreary, depressive and very angry poetry scared me, for a child so young as you were at the time you first started posting your poems.  How old were you?  13..14 at the time?

A lot of us were worried about you.   :-*

I'm just so glad to hear life is getting better, you're in college etc.  Your words reflect what's going on in your life and it is a good thing.

           Big hugs to you and give one to you Dad from me too.

Felicia,
I'm so glad to hear from you too!  Glad you are doing well, and I too really liked the tone of this poem.  You are never far from mind, nor from my prayer list.  Keep doing well.
