From my windows.

Brilliant colors like brazened eyes
They tease and temp  
Just as starlight that shines
They caused me to perk
To look afar in dark of night.

One and only one light -
I saw many diamond sparks twinkled.

From comfort spot, I rose again to look
And as I looked within, then out at scenes
Beckoning me to see...
I heard One Voice consoling me.

An aged old Friend I've shun...
Its scent of freedom reigned fresh, like
Forget-me-not with dew.

Now I think of You
Your radiance seeping in
Holding my hand.
