Windows
Windows
1.
When I open the window of my eye,
I find I wrestle to open the window of my mind.
In quieting my mind’s rattle,
the window of my soul already open, feels the fresh air.
When I open the window of my mind,
I espy the dirt upon my eye.
When washed clear,
the window of my soul beholds.
When I open the window of my soul,
I see clearly the rattle of my mind and eye
not noise or view from any window.
2.
There’s a mark
on my window
on my glasses
or my eyes.
I pretend it’s the worlds.
But when I clean my windows, it’s smaller.
When I wipe my glasses it’s lighter.
When I clear my vision,
it’s gone.
3.
Is it the view?
Or more so, is it what I am able,
willing,
choosing
to see?
