The Window

My thoughts today, take me to the window
         Yes not those made of glass are of concern
Windows made of words are in my focus
             What better way is there for one to learn

The secrets of the universe inside us
                A writer can reveal such inner thought
The character of soul with pen, laid bare
        With each new line of candor that is sought

A voyeur may find intrigue peeking so
            Yet those who write do freely offer page
Their windows open for the world to see 
           Emotions shared on such a splendid stage

Sometimes though, people do not understand the words, so the fail to see the window, the purpose.. Great introspection Mike..
