Out the Window Ii

OUT THE WINDOW II

There is no wind     or
     at least little
             just the tops
The sky    all clouds    all steel-gray
Thoughts go steady    unwavering
I relish the peace    relax totally
How strange    nature asleep
But then    on the instant –
In answer;
Leaves begin to dance
Oh    I tell you    something listens
Thoughts   (perhaps)    are not isolated
                                     are UNIVERSAL!
And    in reaction    I start to consider
What is alive?
Why!    Everything!
Everything physical
But the most awesome    
              all consuming life
                                        is realized
In that quiet place
That haven
Out the window

daver,thank you so much for always putting up poems like these that are such a joy to read. and I am really sorry to learn that all these health problems have come to you at once. Geeez, you really scare me. I already have arthritis and stuff and I'm not even in my 60's yet. So it is gonna get worse and worse and worse? EEEEEKS. I dont' want to live a long life anymore! anyway, keep on being your cheery wondeful self.YOu are a breath of joy here at soup.

Sometimes things pile up, but someone with your talent and sweet personality must live many, many more years for the good of humanity

* “Very Profound & Intriguing Reflection * Set Amid The Gray of Natures More UnKnowing Possibilities Moments * My Dear Highly Gifted & Precious Daver. * Yet * Spoken Within A Softer Tone * Somewhat Like Having An Unpleasant Dream * All The While As The Conscious Is Speaking In Whispers of Reasurrance That Everything Is Going to Be Fine * Love It. * And Yesss * I Do Believe That to Some Degree * All of Creation Is Connected. * Sincerely Yours * Sarah” *

I think thoughts are "UNIVERSAL" too, Daver! Might think of someone who is close and get a call or a letter. "that quiet place, That haven Out the window" seems to be teeming with energy. A thought provoking write! Best to you and yours...Love, Mikki
