Revisiting a Poem ~~~ Windows View

Windows View

What is the view from your window?

Is it the sea or the bare rolling hills?

Or is it the new office buildings

Seen 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 surround

White capped, when covered in snow

The view from an apartments high tower

Might be the best view you get

Whatever the view through the daytime hour

Most breathtaking when viewed at sunrise or 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 in the special view from your comfy 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 reflect on the views I have seen

I think of many windows, small, long, narrow, large and wide

Thinking of old ornate windows, church windows and all of the memories, in between

So now I invite you to look out of your window, to a unique view that awaits you outside.
