The Needed Window

Windows are always there for us
nearly every room does have one
should make us appreciate our lot
look out and see all that's done

Consider every room you have
imagine that there's no view in sight
no glass, not even one that's cracked
every room with no light after a night

The darkness blinds one so much
eventually, this would tend to depress
bringing heavy moods upon the mind
for how long is anyone's guess

Of course one can use electricity
have the use of lights all around
but that brings something so artificial
for inside the desire for true sound

All of this shows the needed window
what blessing to look out so far
see the colours outside so very bright
love the window it's our bright star

Imagine a house with no windows - a true prison - we carry windows in our heart also Gordon, and so see Gods true works of art everywhere around us! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Windows are wonderful things and something we likely do take for granted... I love to watch the seasons change from my window and open them when the weather allows... I also enjoyed your poem and it's wonderful imagery this evening. Well penned Gordon!

This is lovely Gordon, to live with no windows would be unbearable. I struggle enough with these dark evenings and so look forward to the spring time light. Such a well written poem about something we take for granted for they truly are our bright star... thank you Gordon and keep safe and warm. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
