Open a Window
Open a window; what’s outside?
Sunlight blazing far and wide?
Branches dancing in the trees
and birdsong lilting on the breeze?
Is it an evening cold with storm,
with indigo cloud banks taking form
in a palisade of lightning, hail,
and whistling ghosts in a screaming gale?
So goes the weather, for a start;
how, now, with the windows of your heart?

Enjoyed this very much. Beautiful imagery. Ends with what could either be a very difficult question, or the easiest and breeziest of questions ever pondered. The windows —- of the heart.
Funny how often the same question can be at such different extremes, isn’t it. In this instance, perhaps the difference really lies in looking at the obscuring haze I’ve let form over the window, or clearing a space in it so I can really see *through* it again.

Thank you, dearest Koko. Our Saturday has been marvelous and restful thus far, and I hope *your* weekend is similarly lovely. I hope the “interesting” nature of your life right now is positive and hopeful for you. Sending you warm hugs and encouraging thoughts!
