    As I step out into the beauty
    I can feel the sun warm on my face
    I can hear the birds singing to eachother
    This is such a beautiful place.
    As I step out into the green grass
    I can feel it soft between my toes
    The wind whirls my hair all around me
    Kisses me lightly on my nose

    I open my eyes in confusion
    This is all I wanted it to be
    I thought it was you that kissed me
    In this beautiful place, I don't know how to be.

    The sky turns to black as it rains tears of blood
    The birds lay dead on the ground from sadness
    The green grass sinks into the mud.
    I don't know how to be without you
    Don't know just what to do
    I'm stuck in the mud with dead birds...
    Wish I was stuck in the mud with you

    Liked it until the dead birds flew in. It has an attractive and warm lyrical quality. Save the dead birds for the taxidermist.

    The dead birds are a huge impact on the poem and how I felt. They represent death...darkness... It starts off 'warm and attractive' because that was the beauty within me...but without it, I'm sinking into a muddy cemetery. Ya know.. it's suposed to be torchered and that's okay. Thanks for your input

    Why wish to be stuck in the mud
    with someone who isn't there,
    when you have the wind
    which kisses you.

    When I'm really sad, everything around me is. It's harder to appreciate the wind. My emotion takes over...and that...well that's unfortunate.

    that was very insightful to me. thank you.:)

    Your emotions are beautiful currents, gales within you,
    that fill your sails with purpose. Turn your sails to the horizon
    and breath in the dawn. You are a wonderful writer.
    Ask the winds inside for what you need... when you decide.

    I appreciate your kindess. And you're words, they flow so metaphorically. Like a dandelion..ya know.. when you blow it, you send out these silent little wishes into the wind. Whenever I see one floating, I wander if it's someone's wish, and hope for them with a spiritual remorse...just for the hell of it. Your words are those alike a dandelions...flowing with meaning and imagination. I've been asking the winds inside...but they're blowing so hard...And it's too loud. Waiting for it all to die down. Good or bad, I don't know.
    I noticed you replied to almost everything I've posted. I just want to thank you for taking the time to analyze and encourage me. :)
