Windows View
What is the view from your window?
Is it the sea or the rolling hills?
Or is it the new office buildings
That you see from your own windowsills
Maybe your window faces a playground
Where families all day come and go
Or you might see mountains in the distance around
White capped, when covered in snow
The view from an apartments high tower
Might be the best view that you get
Whatever the view through the daytime hour
Breathtaking viewed through the colours of sunrise, and sunset.
A view of a beautiful garden, of roses and green grassy tones
Think of your view ever changing, as another season dawns anew
Group plantings of perennials and annuals, neatly bordered with stones
Bringing to the view from your window, shades of different colour and hue
Or your view might be a small terrace, light and as neat as a pin
There might be a sundeck full of flowerpots, table, umbrella and all
And hanging from poles is a hammock, to sit or lounge about in
Concrete jungle, your view might even be, a brick wall or a tree strong and tall
Remember to take a special view from your favourite window seat
On a cold and wet wintry day sit there and read your favourite book
In the early freshness stand by the sunny window, as morning you greet
Watching all of the movements outside, while breakfast starts to cook
Today as I clean my window and think of the views I have seen
I think of many windows, small, long, narrow, large and wide
Thinking of old ornate windows, church windows and their memories, in between
While I invite you to look out from your window, to the view that awaits you outside.

I took the photos Sunday night from my son and daughter in laws farm. My view was of the Full Moon coming up over the hills in the distance. The farm with their Horses and Black dog are in the foreground. A beautiful sight indeed.
Regards from Milli

The other view to the west, was the sun setting .
I found a lovely little tune to go with this theme and I hope that you enjoy it.
The quality of the photo of the horses is not perfect because I had to lighten it up for better viewing. Obviously the camera is not that great in darkness, however I think you will get the idea.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I loved your poem, I thought the full moon photo is the most outstanding feature in this blog........
ReplyDeleteBut its still a beauty of a poem matey....................................
Thanks dear Mister Ifiik. I am glad that you are getting the feel of my blog and for the beauty that we have around us when we open our eyes and look.
ReplyDeleteWhen we draw the curtains!

Hi Milli,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem! I think we all take our views for granted most of the time. Where we live, in northern California, we have the most incredible view of 14,162 foot Mt. Shasta some 8 miles away. It was one of the many reasons we chose to buy this house - and eventually, the lot next door. (Check out my Mt. Shasta photos in my photo albums.) I know I do enjoy looking at my dogs lined up on the top of the sofa looking out the window and the goings on. The view out our master bedroom window is of 10,000 ft. Mount Eddy and the mountain chair called The Eddies. From the family room and kitchen, there is a small stand of pine trees off our upper deck to look at. There are views of the mountains on all four sides of our house. Sometimes we don't stop to look though. What a wonderful reminder. :-)

ReplyDeletethanks for the invite the whole world is seen through you dear milli, you have been there most of the time to open new vistas for me always.
"In the early freshness stand by the sunny window, as morning you greet

particularly after my morning meditation, yes wholesome?
but beyond that the photograph of the black beauty beneath reminds me of my first prose by collins publication "Black Beauty to Read Aloud"
thanks for being here, you are always on the go and creative, inspiring instilling and infusing

Plato you have opened the curtains and inspired further. Wonderful additions and out of the window inspirations...thank you.
ReplyDeleteMarcia thank you so much for your visit and your beautiful comments. I think you must live in a paradise or close to one and your dogs probably agree with me. Here is to your superb views.
ReplyDeleteShankar dear I wonder what you see out of that great big window at your home called .Mythili'?
ReplyDeleteI am coming over to see your post Wishwa and I appreciate your kind words here about meditations by the window.
ReplyDeleteI am moving in with Marcia...............don't tell her though as she might lock the doors.
ReplyDeleteI like your poem milli it makes on think about opening themselves as well as their windows onto the world.
Brilliant and nice poem. We get Beautiful views through the windows. Windows take our mind, heart and sight to the entire world. The photographs are also beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Please see my entry at - http://jayaramanms.multiply.com/journal/item/134/POETRY_WEDNESDAY.
ReplyDelete:). Such a thoughful Poem. I love my windows, especially since I have moved to a place where it rains and is dreary for the most part.. Oh and Skylights too.. I have seen similar sights, like you have described and have always felt "Its good to be ALIVE". Love the photos.:)
ReplyDeleteRita I know you have had so many wonderful views from your RV vehicle's windows to view from as you travelled the countryside. Windows from the car or the plane or train also apply here...So many memories?
ReplyDeleteJR thanks so much for your expressive comment and what you say is true, take the view from our window to the world through our pc monitors for example.
ReplyDeleteMindsnomad of course the skylights wow I can not forget a view to the rain forrest canopy above, through a skylight in the ceiling of a small hut in the Daintree Forest in Far North Queensland. It was magic. You my dear know your views.
ReplyDeleteBill I understand you and to be honest I almost made that my theme. The window to the soul of the Earth on Earth Day. Let us celebrate our special Earth and the views it gives us mortals every single moment, through the window or into the window of our own unique being.
ReplyDeleteGood job, my Milli, very lovely mood inspired by your words, photos and audio.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem very much and I agree with Bill; I had the same interpretation of the window looking into the soul and thatour perceptions of what we see from our view very much form our reality.
Thanks and big hugs.
I really love your poem, the title is beautiful and the window is actually too. I'm a moon beholder. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue for the lovely comment the poetry. The poetry this week has been remarkable especially yours.
ReplyDeleteWelcome very welcome cola and I loved the painted window too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice views you've provided us today. I love the imagery you've set in this one. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely thought this poem conjures up of the beauty we can witness as we view the world around us! (My window view is of green and flowers currently as spring makes a wonderful showing!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your views as well!

ReplyDeletethank you for sharing!
