This I know
You are windows
And not walls
You let me
See rather than
Keeping me hidden
You give me
Air to breathe
Sunshine to feel
Rain to watch
You teach me
Things about myself
That without windows
I’d never see
This I know
You are windows
And not walls
You let me
See rather than
Keeping me hidden
You give me
Air to breathe
Sunshine to feel
Rain to watch
You teach me
Things about myself
That without windows
I’d never see
Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
In the wood
Sat a prince
Thinking just thinking
Thinking about what
Was before him
Entering the wood
Came a man
Drawn by fire
Why so forlorn
He did ask
The young prince
There’s much to
Do he said
And you think
By sitting thinking
That it will
Be accomplished the
Man then asked
I don’t know
The young prince
Replied I do
The man said
Let us be
Friends let me
And not you
Slay the dragons
Let you be
The prince that
Will be king
That is friendship
Doing the one
Thing that will
Elevate the other
Life is an
Arcade game where
With each step
And every level
You learn one
More thing and
Those many things
Result in prizes
I guess today
I finally won
The best prize
Of your heart
Lucky lucky me
I am much
Like a dog
I enjoy being
Teased and played
With petted and
Called patted and
Reassured invited onto
The couch bathed
And preened and
Fed and like
A dog I
Enjoy being by
Your side on
Wooden trails in
Snow and rainy
Afternoons but what
I like most
Is simply this
The one that
You turn to
For comfort when
You are sad
That’s my place
Next to your
Warm hearts hearth
