Out the Window

The house is perfect for the autumn days
With the windows built just for the sunlight
Beautiful feel brought by the morning haze
Letting light in, letting things be real bright

With the windows built just for the sunlight
Looking out the window you see beyond
Letting light in, letting things be real bright
You can see out there a nice little pond

Looking out the window you see beyond
There’s a pathway that leads into the yard
You can see out there a nice little pond
Seeing and not being out there is hard

There’s a pathway that leads into the yard
It’s a tender sight that I am seeing
Seeing and not being out there is hard
Opening my heart, this is sure pleasing

It’s a tender sight that I am seeing
Beautiful feel brought by the morning haze
Opening my heart, this is sure pleasing
The house is perfect for the autumn days

"It's a tender sight that I am seeing" << This line just really jived well with me. The flow of it was just perfect. Pantoums are really fun to write in, but it's a bit of trick to get the hang of. Really great work here! I wanna see for myself, the place you're describing :)

Russell; I love the picture you painted for us from your window, but why can't you go out there and be by the pond? Thanks for the visit. Many blessings....... Lucilla
