Outside My Window

Outside my widow
All the strange sights to see
 Can't overwhelm me
 With panes of glass in between
 I open the shutters
To glimpse all that's outside
 I take in the great wonders
 From my safe haven, inside 
 Content to admire from afar 
 A nature I'll never know up-close
 A whole world in a sheet of glass 
 Outside my window

This reminds me of the great Emily Dickinson... thoughtful, dreamy and sheltered...content in the musings of her own mind. Beautiful! Always, Laura

"A nature I'll never know up-close," leaves the reader wondering. Lovely write and I love and agree with Ian's comment.
