The Window

 

The Window

 

Phoebus peeps out of darkness

The announcement that the night is over.

The gate opens, light and warmth are inside.

The gate opens, the plants dance in their sunbath. 

The gate opens - the division between them and us,

The healthy and the sick,

The lonesome ones and our family.

   

I have to get closer to see

The connection to the external without being outside,

The acrobat squirrel running by the electrical wires,

The birds defying restrictions,

The unknown storyteller passing by.  

 

The view you have seen so many times,

The view you saw before they took you away,

The view your eyes contemplated while your mind flew away, 

The words I said before you left. Look! The trees are green again!

The view while I wait for your return.
