Out the Window

OUT THE WINDOW

Writing at table
An ordinary day
                         with nothing to do but dream
A detachment
    (as so often happens)
                                       takes hazy form
                                   AND
I’m casually out the window
Sensing something extra out there
Not mysterious
A simple fact of existence
Infiltrating
               of and through everything!
The roses sense its presence    color-up
Birds fly through it
                              because of it
This presence    making eyes of surroundings
Pressing
Inviting 
Becoming one
Lifting
Dancing the mind
Enveloping shoulders    heart

Now it dusts my tiny room
                           thrills the veins
                                              shimmers the hair
As it looks back at me through my window

“What is reality?” my pen is writing

Michelle Mac Donald May 27, 2011 at 4:53 PM A beautiful write, Daver! Perhaps your own reflection looking back you through your window? You, but with the intellectual and spirtual tones of a renaissance man. Love the quiet but streaming imagery. Thanks for the comment...I can't seem to write, if I were playing a musical instument..I'd be playing the jews harp...poing poing poing. Oh well..best wishes!! Love, Mikki

Andrea Dietrich May 26, 2011 at 1:55 PM oooh. This is so creative. And just what IS reality then? Good question to ask at the end of this delightful poem, Daver!
