Out the Window

Some windows let their occupants
See mountains or the sea
Or trees or yards with jungle gyms
But that’s not true for me.

I look outside and peer across
At buildings which provide
Innumerable apartments
With their windows multiplied.

But many people gazing out,
No matter what their view,
See snowflakes swirling in the air,
As snowflakes often do.

United by the weather
While we focus on the snow,
Nature sees us all as equals
As the flakes drift down below.

I'm fascinated by the profound silence falling snow creates, as though each flake were feeding on the days or nights remaining sounds. Great end stanza. / Maurice

I am glad you are seeing what I am seeing; it unites us now.
