Windows
Windows
Window’s worn
wooden teeth,
tightly clasped —
Moldy sill
set beneath
cracked
yellowed glass.
Walls watched
with pity
a soul dehydrated —
Once joyful
and giddy,
Now, sad and ill-fated…
Reconciled to
the moment,
I started to weep —
In spite of
the torment,
I fell fast to sleep…
Dreams took me away
to a radiant room,
Bright walls adorned
with sunflower blooms —
Honeybees feasting
on full nectar moons.
Through wide
open window,
A gentling
warm breeze,
filled the cold
empty spaces in me —
I felt my body
rise and restart,
Dancing to music
that played in my heart!
Words, wild
and winsome
skipped
through my mind,
slipped
down my tongue
in rhythms
and rhymes…
Warm undulations
flowed into me —
waves of elation
and sweet release!
At once,
in that magical moment
I knew,
I was finally at peace,
Free —
to live life anew.
About this poem
Sometimes in our lives, we feel trapped and closed off from life, or even from ourselves. Then, something or someone happens to us, that helps us to be free to live again.
