Poetry in the Windows.....

Everyone old has dreamed of all their lives--
Bonds and gestures pushed to one side
Like an outdated combine harvester,
And everyone young going down the long slide

Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

(Philip Larkin - High Windows)















*Looking from the windows,out,still remember the poetry recited by my dad
*the light seems to fade coming inside
*the bars and its patterns
*nostalgic memories running out
*a world of emotions out ....
*some pink hibiscus and windows make images most memorable in me
*they creek when they are closed
*and creek when they are open
*they are very old,some decades old...
*but they are still prettier than everything...
my windows...
