Outside the Window

There is beauty inside portrait of life

The window opens the eye to nature

Berries are twinned so delicately resting upon pine

Invisible force creates the boughs to sway

Atmosphere is grey and thick

Rain just waiting to dance once again

Smells are hidden away

There is a penetrating force that houses

Carpet of autumn kaleidoscope buries emerald hues

Occasionally orchestrated dances, entertains, and delights

Birds soar like hot air balloons

The hawk is so high melting into sky

There is ugliness, yes!

Undesirable quickly masked by euphoric view

The dead summer’s plants hang tight

Winters creatures snuffing out brightness

Tears creating new ponds for rebirth next year

There they are!  Can you see them?

Swans gracefully dancing a minute

The window has brought the crippled woman hope

As she pondered to herself…………..

I may not have the legs I once had

That’s okay!

But never take my eyes!

Do you hear me

Please don’t take the eyes!
