Pane 1: The window of gloom reborn.

Looking out into misty thoughts floating along the horizon
A poet’s window changes every time they look out
For it never stays the same

In all the emotions of a raging storms
To the gentleness that touches nerve endings so softly
That it chills you alive
For as the rain of tears overcome some
Into the freezing sleet that immobilizes you

For the pain has drained you and
Your window of gloom
Haunts you with departed memories
That destroyed you into a shell
So small as to jail your insides in disgust

And when everything is at its worst
Someone steps on you more

Struggling in the pain of living
You peek out to see an awakening
In a sunrise in such light
As to melt your insides
In the compassion that pulls the gutter up

And as your keep looking
In the fear of not changing
It keeps Winter grays fading
Into the softest of colors reborn

For as the brilliance you imagine grows from nothing
A seed in you start to germinate
For as the nourishment of the view
Keeps hope alive
With the sounds of a heart keeping time
With the song birds of pure imaginations

For as the flower are still green
The tones of those attempts grow taller
And as the window changes
So does the view

For never will a window show the same thing
Unless the confinement you are in
Is in a dead mind

For as you seek the changes even so small
Life will come back and rebuild
Just as the bloom of your garden
Will bless you upwards

Into the heavens
Where all can fly high
Fearing nothing from any windows
That dares to change before them
