Beyond My Window

Outside my window life moves slow… But inside the glass a different show… Past the frame a blue sky kisses the trees… Behind the curtain a poet’s pen bleeds… Scripting nature from beyond my room… Where the lamp is my sun and the voices my tune… The shade pulls down as the horizon takes the day… Shadows fill the spaces into tomorrow’s yesterday… What’s left on paper is for you to perceive… Behind the words I once conceived…

I know what its like to be behind the curtain, to be that poet! I don't hide anymore, I'm out in the open for all to see, but am still a poet! I really loved reading this poem this evening!

a pretty nature poem and poem of your love for writing. I too enjoy writing about nature while INSIDE my house, but it's also cool to be sitting comfortably outside as well and I bet you love both ways too!
