Lumps of Clay II

Oh World, if ever I find my true love
I fear my heart will burst;
Already it brims with the joy of simple being.
Even as I sit here and sing to You, You change.
The stars are different then before,
As is the earth itself; and my own heart;
Magically it grows to allow more and more.
Witness now all you fools with eyes downcast,
Observe the constant rebirth of all creation
and be Re-born unto yourselves.
Break your windows painted black
and let Light in; let it nourish your souls!

majnu,
"break your windows painted black". Rarely do I comment on the poetry of others for one of two reasons, either there is not enough time, or I do not feel qualified.
This is such a strong statement, I am breaking with tradition, my "windows painted black" to say I see much promise in your writing.

Very powerful!
Your 'black windows' POV intrigues. Imagine all the possibilities if the light of Love were to flood the interior of every heart on this globe.
