Feathers in the Wind

By Rachelle Ann Ramos
Sept. 17, 2004

without some one i feel cold
you were everything to me
but you let it fall apart
with no real love we knock down all i've tried to keep alive

where did it go...all the walks holding hands
all the kissing in the woods
with no one to wish away my tears
who is going to hold me

i'm left vulnerable weak, helpless and...
blind from all the tears i've shed mourning
the "us", we can no longer be one
i can't see or feel your presence

i can't feel that inviting warmth
i wander aimlessly in search of that feeling
like a feather caught in the wind
you just can't catch it

i am forced to wait for it to come to me
i can't just stay in this place and wait
i can't just wait not knowing if it'll come at all
all these memories we made taunt me

my eyes become heavy with these spilt tears
they cling to my eyelashes making me blind to everything
i feel so naked...so vulnerable
i grow weak just waiting for that something to return

i dream, the memories race around my head in some wild dance
spinning my mind...it pummels my mind...the dream changes
i question myself...is this really waiting...?
what is it that i am waiting for...i know it's there the a faded photograph

something brushes against my hand
i feel warmth buzzing along my spine
the first murmurs of sound...voices?
no one voice...deep and strong, not aggressive...he was aggressive

he?...he...the man in the faded photograph...holding my hand
but this new one...he's warm...he's strengthening me
with gentle touches along my hand i feel life returning to my dead eyes
shut with dried tears

he touches my eyelids and they open to see a man smiling
with eyes that bring a flush to my face
not like his eyes, his were degrading you to a piece of meat
yours brought strength my legs and a tightness in my chest

you hold my and bring me to my feet
gently half carrying half supporting me
i'm no longer naked because you are wrapped around me like the blanket i need for warmth
your become my beacon of light enabling me to see

i can see and live on my own...but i choose to be with this man
whose smile is contagious, whose hands gently roam my body
who brings warmth into my heart
but i fear being abandoned

i hadn't found the thing i was waiting for
because it had found me and revived my spirit
the feather in the wind wasn't caught
it just isn't lonely anymore

About the author Rachelle Ann Ramos: I'm attempting to be an author, at any age writing a book is an amazing feat. But I bet it's harder when your just a highschool freshmen. I have always dreamed about being an author of an inspiring book in which teenagers can relate to. I certainly hope I can get through this let alone highschool.
