Trapped by walls of darkened grey and lost there just to dream Of views to take me far beyond the places I had been Until a light of wishes hope appeared to help me see Just what becomes of hope and thought and what could further be Trapped by darkness of the night, which I had thought would stay Until a blind of windows sleep just moved and fell away Revealing more than one could dream, such visions of delight I saw mans pot of gold displayed, through rainbow coloured light I must have slept for such a while not knowing I had been Until this window in my mind showed more than I had seen I stood and felt fulfillment take me past my field of sight It took me way beyond my bounds and ever from the night A window opened in my mind that helped my eyes to see The scenery that makes a life seem more than it may be I watched the day, but differently, and now each seemed to sing Amazing when the mind can see; you capture everything I realized then with clarity how life is just on lend That we are born and given time until the blessing’s end But also the importance to open eyes to see And look through all the windows, so to find what's there and free |

Your inward glances reveal life's chances and daily romances with the written word... You speak to all, knowing that life can be glowing and there you are showing... what your heart's heard... Thank you, Rick...  |

A window opened in my mind that helped my eyes to see The scenery that makes a life seem more than it may be I watched the day, but differently, and now each seemed to sing Amazing when the mind can see; you capture everything ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I so enjoyed the crystal clear clarity that you wrote. Truly, a wonderful message here. *Bravo* Rick~ |
