**Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So when life gets tough you can just play pretend. I wanna go back to when Santa did exist. When your daddy was the only boy you ever kissed. When Disney World was the best place to be. When the only movies you could see were rated G. When your biggest problem was learning to write your name and people didn't change...and your friends were the same. And every time you were sad or you had a bad day. You could just run to mommy and it would all be okay. I wanna go back to no hurt...and no pain...just laughter. When everyone always lives happily ever after.**

Tales from all the lands
travel through my window
The wind tells me stories
The stars twinkle in the sky and I can understand
The chirp of the jumping grasshopper in the distance
The clapping of the thunder in the sky above
The cries of the night stalking coyotes
I lay here hoping, wishing
Maybe one day we all will understand
The whispers of the wind

I was inspired over summer break when we had this ginormous storm in my town. The lightning was incredible! The wind and clapping of the thunder shook my windows. It was beautiful. I love stormy nights on a hot, humid summer night. Its just like magic!
