The Window, The Sky and I

by KingdomDreamer

The Window whispers to me

It told me it wanted to be free 

And no longer cry

The Window called to the key

It responded shaken; a little shy

It said you know you can see

When it comes time to say goodbye

All you allow is a regretful sigh 

Holding onto those that might want you to die

But love is not bartered or anything you buy

Manipulation is not a truth in a lie

Sometimes a ripple in an ocean

Will lead you to a big devotion 

Worth more than being locked away

Wait awhile, so please stay

But Freedom will come one Mayday

Grew up as an outsider but learned to stand tall for a world that is hurting. Love to Love People and Living for Something Bigger than just a 401K Retirement.

<p>I should write something on that topic because it isn&#39;t discussed much love vs hate and how we develop it in our lives.</p>
