Windows

~Near by, a window opens~
When i look out all
My eyes can see
is a sorrow filled
and shamefully ugly war
of lost integrity

My heart begins to beat
at a stronger faster pace,
just as i feel
a sudden, heavy
presence by my side

She revels to me the sorry streets
where to many of her children lie,
and painfully die,
Alone.
"Why?"ask i.
No reply.

We continue and soon i see
Brothers, Sisters
Aunts, and Uncles.
Sons, Daughters
Mothers, and Fathers.
Families pine for their Lost.

The next scene we come upon is an
Ocean.
The brightest blues and torquises
fill my canvas.

Soon, my vision is clouded but,
when it clears,
a yellow and orange sun
is setting behind the clouds
of Pan's own eyes.

After i raise my unworthy eyes
from the brown leafless trees,
and the grey unpaved ground
I am amazed.

I see a rush
of magnificent green
rolling across
The highest of mountains,
The tallest of trees.
The ground once grey,
is now full
of bold green grass.

Flowers of Rose,
Violet, and Indigo
open their soft fragrant petals
towards the Setting Sun.

A Rainbow stretches
across the sky.
Reds,Oranges,
Yellows,Greens,
Blues,Indigoes,
and Violets
Shine Above us.

And the sky
once a multitude
of magical Blues,
turns to vivid
Scarlet-Crimson hues.

~Far away, a window...Shatters~
