UNVEILED, THE WONDER OF WHEN

Folder: 
JOURNAL #13

whisper, free wild words

as you wonder throughout your whim

like carefree summer birds

flying away

beyond cages and cages of them

them who know not why

their fragile feats fail to win

the hearts of the greedy and provocative

oh darling saboteurs

addicted is each to his uncontrollable sin

life has a way of quietly working her way in

to the spirit's carefully shaped idea of reality

a solemn yet loud whisper

from the wonder of when

tomorrow perhaps

yet today unlikely

responsibility plays her final hand

and in the end

I actually thinks she starts to like me

and to my enigmatic self

I manage to grin.................
