One Windy Day

Boy, it sure is windy
It doesn't matter where you are
Up or down
The wind blows up to the stars

It's hard to walk
Standing is a chore
Many just sit and wait
While the others fight to open doors

I don't want to fight
I watch all those down low
As they walk from class to class
You see, I'm perched in a window

I have the time to watch
I have no where else to be
At least not now anyway
If only they'd looke up, they'd see me

No one looks up
Its like I'm in a far off world
I guess I am, in a way
I'm up where all the leaves twirl

I think I'll stay here
I'll just watch the day
And I'll watch you
As I sit in my window and pray

April 11, 2001
I will never forget the day I wrote this. I was on the top floor (which is the third floor) of Jewell Hall. There are no screens on the windows, just blinds. I curled up against the wall in the window. The Hill is really beautiful in the spring. That is one of the reasons I chose to go to Jewell. On this day it was really windy. The sky was clear and I could see really far into the distance. It was peaceful. No one was around me. I was alone. It was beautiful. (Flash to American Beauty. The white, plastic sack is  being carried by the wind.) I watched leaves and papers sail around. I listened to the hissing of the wind. It was literally breath-taking.
