This is about a series of different views in our emotions.

Pane 3: The staining of your soul.

Stain glass how you distort
Looking into the same thing in different ways
For what seems right will be wrong in another light
Ripples in one color will calm in another
How confused a mind can get

When the only way to look out
Is not in a clear white mist
For it seems a world in one color does not work
Nor looking out in different colors at different times
For we have to see depth in all colors
At the same time
To see the overall picture
To confuse our mind in a less intensity

But still at times when you look
From far away at the blending
Of distorted glass
In the image of something
It will have a religious aspect to us
Calming us from within

So I will leave my stain glass window to reflect on
Back into me
As a mirror of sorts
For looking threw it
Will get quite maddening
But reflecting on it will soothe me

As long as I can see a clear mist in other windows
In the rest haven within
I will not be trapped
With my emotions
Which hide in my canyon abysses
To peek out and observe
In the depth of all colors

wonderful imagery and clever use of metaphor to make the analogies of color and emotions...
also looking out at our selves and the stained glass comparisons.
very cool write.

for handing you a heart worth breaking.
