Reflections

Empty Window

We said our goodbyes,
Not knowing for how long
It would be.

I watched him run-
Into the house-
And gone.

And I stared at that empty window-
Remembering all the times
I had stood there waving
At loved ones I would miss.

Perhaps we poets can be faulted-
For seeing too much
In an empty window.

But forgive us-
As we are filling it for you.

John H. Bidwell

If you're on the outside looking in, they put you in jail.
But from the inside looking out, you're already in jail.
Life stinks. (Mel Brooks).

Windows have this power and every poet I know has written once about a window, Last week our neighbors moved. At night since our house is situated higher than there's I can look down into their living room. The older gentleman is always reading the paper in his chair and his wife watching TV. I can see them when Im turning off the outside light for the night........I think Im going to miss that just knowing they were there (and they were great neighbors!)

Like we fill the pages of our books with images we've captured in our minds. There is much to see out that window as you have reminded us.

A thought provoking piece of poetry. "Time goes by like a fast moving train. Stop to look back too long and you will miss the blessings that are right in front of you."

Peace, love and multiple blessings,
