My Window

yes... more ramblings... finished? No.

     I'm sitting in this room alone. Staring at the place where it should go. I picked it out long ago. To give my mind escape,  a little room to roam. When I close my eyes, pictures flash and haunt. They never go. So I sit and stare at that place I know. I can even smile at the frames like the scenes of a picture show. 

     Dulled and stained by all I know. Trapped in a place where the sun has never shown. Waiting for a wind to blow a change into my soul. Staring at the only safe place I can go. Staring at the world I love and the faces that let me go.

     Beyond these walls, purple sunsets blaze and distant stars glow. Autumn leaves swirl and green grasses are buried under snow. Whispers, laughs, kisses and smiles are trade in these scenes I know. Faces warm and welcoming send the thoughts below. So I'll sit here staring at the only safe place I can go. The movie scenes and memories that give my mind some room to roam. Sitting by my window. Staring at a world I know, somewhere long ago, somewhere so very close.

We all need a place to look at that gives us hope and warmth! Whether that is created physically or in the mind...usually, mine is the ocean and I go curl up in the bones of a whale so deeply buried beneath the blue water that no-one can see I even exist anymore...this place, is where I go to gather momentum from insane life at times ;) lol So I do understand this piece x

There IS beauty in our world... We either find it or create it even if only in our minds. I love the picture you just painted for me. Thank you for coming by!

Very hypnotizing. Solitude...
It's a good way to meditate.

I once worked in a place where a guy had a fake window and a flower box... his was the only office with a window, We never questioned his sanity... because we worked there too.

If I could have gotten away with that I would have too.Thanks for taking the time.

You have created some very vivid pictures. I could feel the emotion in your writing. As a suggestion, I would break up the lines a little bit, which will help with the flow. The content, however, is excellent.
Great work!

conveys despair and 'bittersweetness' about the past and the world out there. makes me wonder what kind of room this is and where it is or is it just in your mind. great imagery. excellent poem.
