Windows by MwsR

I see it all so clearly now, as if I was looking at it all through my front window pane.

The journey that made me into the person I now am and often times had to refrain.

A badge if you will, of things I endured, things I could not let go of, and things I will always remember.

I felt often times, like a visitor not a family member.

This window allowed me to see, the parts that I embraced, the parts that I hid, and the ones in between.

The parts of the whole that makes up , the “me”.

Sometimes while looking through this window, it has condensation and dirt that makes things appear different than they were, and are.

When this happens, I look for all those hidden scars.

Windows can reflect light as much as they can reflect heat.

It makes no difference to me, that is part of my heart’s beat.

It is what makes me human, and able to feel things deeply and eternalize things that have made me.

I would not ask for another life, not for one moment, you see.

Window or not I can pull things out and reach from experiences, from trials, and deceptions.

I can use them and concentrate on them with great reflections.

Windows, like our lives can be adorned with things, given great presence, and stationary things.

But what is worth more than all that, more than keeping them clean, or adorned in things, is what they actually bring.

As if our lives were not enough without all that, windows are worth more than gold.

Windows are worth more than gold.

Poem

LIFE, LOVE,HOPE by MwsR

Life is too long not to enjoy
Life is too short to not make amends
When does this circle of life have to end?
Love is too great not to share
Love is putting someone else first in your heart
Would it not be right to share it from the start?
Hope is wonderful to have
Hope makes things worth wishing for
Take yours and share it more.

Utmost by MwsR

Important things need important attentions

Scattered seeds need ground for expansions

Commands need an attentive ear

People with conviction to do so, from their peers

Motivation needs commitment

Commitments without hesitation and sentiment.

Life needs living things, to go on

Things of utmost importance, the pawns.

Poem

Nature of Things, by MwsR

The wind sneaks through the trees
There is so much that you can feel but not see.
The sun appears in the same areas each day
But in life often we just assume things will be okay.
Like leaves know that eventually, their place is on earth
Sometimes we need to know our worth.
In life as in nature, there are some absolutes and much we don’t know.
It isn’t our job to have all the answers if we did we would never grow.
Experience life, experience nature, experience it all.
We don’t always have to be certain of how we will land or fall.

Poem

A Bunch of If’s
by MwsR

If you can look behind yourself and see no pain
If you can keep a smile even when things stay the same
If you can breathe without complication
Or fix whatever is your problem
If you can see the joy in mundane things
If you can work without any constraints
If you feel empathy for your neighbor
If you can get paid for all your labor
If days come in and they are easy
Then you won’t feel measly
If you can trust without worry
Despite the things that make other people scurry
If tomorrow is awaited with anticipation
Then you can rest easy without hesitation
If your heart is full of peace and love
You will not fall when the push comes to shove
If liars cannot blemish your character,
Then you are special, that’s an important factor
If this poem makes you stop and pause
Then it has served its cause.

Poem

Visit by MwsR

There is a place whether in a dream or in life
That you can imagine yourself being in, and leaving behind all the strife.
That place is a resting place for your soul and mind.
It is one that no one but you can find.
When shadows try to take your sun away
You can revisit this place and for a while stay.

A place for comfort, reflection, and rest
This place is simply the best.
Everyone has their own place like this
There is no challenge there, at least not in this.
Visit this place when you need to
Go there when you can, I plead.

When you get ready to pack
Take only what you need to come back.
Leave behind all the negativity and pain
Because with those things life surely will seem the same.
Revisit if and when you can
There your strength will help you stand.

Simply by MwsR

Words exchanged when both parties are angered

One feeling betrayed somehow, while the other misunderstood

Something that has lain dormant from exposure

Perhaps a bruised ego, or a self fulfilling prophesy

Words replayed over and over

Till each other decides not to speak.

Both left feeling less than they should

Times passes and with it each one’s hardened nature

Words are spoken and they forget the ones spoken before

It is the cycle of anger and resentment,

Stubbornness and selfishness combined.

As often as it comes and goes,

It will be simply fine.
