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

Pane 9: This pane is about the layers of tears.

Frozen tear panes
How sad you are

Misty patterns as a winter’s frost
Frozen in the heart of feelings

Fragile crystal of tender glass
Ready to shatter at any notice
Held together by survival instincts

Looking out of these windows
Will get you motion sickness
Of the heart

A fluttering of sighs frosting once more
Layers on layers of feelings
That keeps piling up
As you try to Windex them away
To the clarity of vision

Sometimes the center will offer sight
But the edges are ragged
In the emotion
That is too hard to control

Still you must peer out once in awhile
To the flowering garden of emotion
That springs up into hope
Outside of your own inside world

Fragile falling tears
streak my window pane
Many are my fears
that bring those tears again.

Great poem
