Through the Window
29th March 2022

My ideal an observer,
of a world larger than I,
of looking through a window,
of contemplating it go by,

of letting it wash over,
intoxicating me,
drunk with wonder splendid,
this passing reality.

I sense it with my being,
absorb it within my soul,
revel in tired comfort,
in this earth so very old.

Be not so trivial it whispers,
from great perspective, and depth,
I acquiesce, and sink back into humanity,
into life and death.

Prompt: Looking through the window.
