Window To My Soul

By Michael J Falotico

                                     I once walked with a soul that had no windows..
                            I always saw things in one dimension with no room to grow..
                            You not only walked into my heart but lit a candle in my soul..
                        Now the dust is wiped away and the curtains pulled back to a fold..
                      I am able to see things in a different light and speak in a new tongue..
                               Words now spill from my lips as quiet bells have now rung..
                       A soul once closed is now open with the light from creative windows..
                             You can see in and I can see out to a man who now knows..


To the one who
inspired me to write..
