A Window Person

She offers far greater potential than the frame upon which she attaches She is flexible, agreeable, and delights to be covered, opened, or closed She provides a reality far and above her surrounding strong walls If you should decide to uncover her, she will light up your world If you desire to open her, she will comfort you with cool breezes She’s transparent and flexible, willing and able to serve your needs She’s a window and wishes to make you smile, but don’t break her And even if you wish to close her, she will agree to give you privacy Mirrors will aid and assist; but mirrors will never sustain or satisfy you But if it is privacy alone that you seek, you need walls and not windows If it is your world alone you desire, you need mirrors, and not windows If “your point of view” is all that matters, you have no need of windows But if you care about what’s out there, and how others see and feel; If you long to share, to touch the souls of others, to give, to help, to heal; If the tool of your trade is transparency, and you have no need for a shield; You are a window person, and your heart has been touched by the Almighty You’ve heard sounds, seen visions, and you cannot be retained behind walls You have uncovered and allowed yourself to be opened for the benefit of others; you felt the breeze of the Almighty. You are free from mirrors and walls, and like God, through windows, you seek to love. 09142017Submitted for contest, Mid September Premiere, Brain Strand
