INSPIRATIONAL: "IRREGULAR FEELINGS" BY KELLY JUUZ

Quite an awful wind here,

Leaving the leaves dead

Not even the birds could chirp

Just echos of voices a-far

And the whistling of the trees

Dancing gradually to the wind

All at irregular directions

Some pointing north-west

Some flagging towards southeast

Whilst the song in my head

Flows like a fountain of feelings

Sprouting memories of ancient

One could see the sound smiles

Mixed with wholesome worries

Yet, I stood still in silence

To move, isn't an option

Sitting seems the soothing thing

Tears glided through my cheeks

It dried off to no-where

Like an aircraft leaving Norway

Tears which did turns in an hour

Hope insisted in me to carry-on

The man in me cheered up again

Oh look, the sun is out over there'

Time is barely non negotiable;

Darkness came with crickets 

My locally made shoes hoofed

Off I go, to the other side... 

Tomorrow holds the luck we seek

There's no decay in winter;

Slow pace of life and slow me'

Live lets live! I woke up.
