Through the Windows

Those lofty trees
move backwards swiftly
and so are those
bitter past memories;
Uncertain of the things
that are in front
and so are hitches
about to confront;
All I can do is sit quiet
and take the ride.
Many a time I greet
the radiant dawn
and sometimes I meet
the menacing tunnel.
But it's for me to decide
whether to detest
or relish the ride.
And I opt for the latter
and so started delighting the drive
through the windows shutter

Yes, there are many adventures ahead to relish. I have images of a teen sneaking out their window to rendezvous with a first love. I enjoyed your poem. My parents told us a cautionary tale of a young girl who died with her lover in a car crash after sneaking out her window. Perhaps I would have enjoyed more window adventures had I not heeded their story.

Creative work. I wonder are the shutters open or closed? I enjoyed reading it because it drew me quietly into the story told in poetic form. Sara
