The Windows

Windows are (open) verses (of poetry) On the lines of dawn When it pours in the cups of the sky Windows are widows of begotten books Windows are transparent fruits of a hidden tree Between the wrinkles of the closed doors They can see the galloping hills The smile The cry They know well the meaning of goodbye They wave, wave back But they never go away Nor do they take any way They have learnt all the chants of the sky Including rain and snow Light is no bad news The old man in the window was not me But, rather, the widow on the shelf of morning

Thank you very much dera SKAT A for the kind words; You know, and I have always believed, It is high time poetry should take over our misuse of language as a first and vital step towards the costruction of a new DICTIONARY; Yes poetry can do that in every possible way. The proof is having you around in here, this open Veranda where every poem has got the chance to get the fresh air of love and peace. Sure I will take alook at your work. Pleased to have as my first friend in here SKAT Please keep in touch. Y Y
