A Warm Glance Through a Cold Window

By wax and comfort I recess
    With smooshed shoulders squeezing betwixt 
The cushions, my gaze imploring 
Those streams which weave the clouds, that they 
 Would gift our drab city kinder 
Weather. For three days’ suns have set, 
   And the third night’s moon now rises. 

Further, the clear walls which withhold
 My inner consciousness, even 
The ones which grasp my mortal form
   Permit that my sight be loosed on 
   Only the colder things outside, 
Which when approached grow more solemn, 
   Until the fiery sun gives
That gift of sweet, sweet free hot breeze. 

Oh- to partake in His fullest 
Sunlight brought blessings packed with heat
Which soaks past my pores and into
    The deeper man, giving him what
Energy he needs to survive 
Another weary winter, to 
Grow old outside the walls. Again
  I dispose to wanderings and 
A warm glance through a cold window.
