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

Pane 4 The safety glass that keeps our window from shattering

Thundering words roaring along the horizon
Quaking with the need to be put in someone’s mind
So violent the passion that the pane shakes endlessly
In the true pain of wild expressions

Whirlwinds of emotions lift you
And drop you so fast
As to write in a second

Of a thoughts so sweet
That it surely must melt
Through the windows cracks

Lightning barks as you back away
Only to come back and look again

For our fear to be heard and felt
In the storms that tear us apart
But the weather dictates us to strike out

In a lightning force
That will electrify our audience
And give them the static charge
To raise their hairs
Into the fuzz balls of thought
That cling to them forever

Still it out weighs the desire to hide and die
For our window haunts us into frenzies
Of raining expressions of titanic proportions

To weather our window
It has the safety net of Lexan
Keeping it from shattering our dreams
Into so many small pieces
That the wind would surely blow them away

But storms are some poet’s passions
For it is here they come alive
In the solar storms
That can put halos of chills on their shoulder
Or the horns of heat a little higher
For at all temperatures they are real

I'm seeing this very clearly
