windows and doors
a window
depends on how you’re looking
as to what you see
and how you see it
sometimes
the view is beautiful
sometimes it’s more
beautiful than you think
sometimes the eyes
see only smudges
sometimes the myriad colors
of the prism as light reflects
but a door
may seem closed
blocking, trapping, keeping in
or out
yet a brave turn
of the knob
and you can walk out
run into the truth
you can’t run through a window
without shattering

Profound. Deep. I love the photo!
truth can shatter you, too. I like the proximity there.
@lanney - of course it can. but it’s better through the door.
@murisopsis - LLO said, “oooh, psychelic”
wow…love this!
Wonderful!
Nice job with the words and the photo!
Now, if the window’s open……..
Lovely
Just remember to clean the winows every once in a while…
simple truths. i like that.
Of course if I run into a window I am more likely to just bounce off…
Beautifully stated and with great metaphors. (not a drug)

Ah, philosophical today I see, and with lovely words. Thanks for your feedback on my poem today. I have revised per your suggestions and a bit more. Enjoy your evening.
very nice and I love the picture.
A window opens to the outside to allow the beauty to come in:)
@WakeUpLaughing - @songoftheheart - @armnatmom - thank you
@Grannys_Place - that it does.
@runisom48 - and no musk ox
@vexations - the gerbil wheel was turning. will check out revisions.
@ANVRSADDAY - thank you, frank.
@leaflesstree - i try not to run into windows as a rule. run into the door plenty.
@Zoz36 - not on my job list
@xdeelynnx - thank you
@Kellsbella - i’d stick my head out
You are #1 on top blogs! Must be those cute shoes!
@Donkey_Guy_10 - it’s my brilliance. snort. guffaw. *going to check out what it’s like at the top. (top blogs is really an interesting little game)
Love flies out the door when money comes innuendo.
@we_deny_everything - clever words of wisdom. i never have money coming in the window.
Doors have no desire to move,
But people don’t stand still.
The door stands between things,
between freedom and being enclosed sometimes.
The door between rooms,
Is symbolic of privacy and openness.
The door to the mind,
often made up or symbollically closed.
Put to rest the door to evil,
Open up the door to generousity and good.
Try as hard as you can to close the door to the past,
It will open more times than not, fickle as a cat.
Ewan McGregor can.
@PPhilip - fickle as a cat. you’ve said a lot more than i did. you’ve probably said what i was trying to say, in fact. some doors shouldn’t be opened. shut tight, locked, bolted. with a chain and paper taped over the window.
windows don’t desire to be looked through either.
@onestepcloserto_perfection - did he have the force with him at the time?
@promisesunshine - No. He went through a wall in “The Men Who Stare At Goats”. I think that was him anyways…but…the way I figure it? Why should a window be different than a wall? He got this.
Although it’s kinda of humorous…they called themselves “Jedi Warriors” in TMWSAG too. I think. Or Jedi something.
@onestepcloserto_perfection - i have no earthly idea what you are talking about. will google when my brain returns from its holiday.
@promisesunshine - haha. I said “kinda of”. That made the whole thing more difficult than it needed to be.
You should watch it.
don’t open neither the door nor the window if you cant follow through..
Windows and doors
ceilings and floors
trap me in
Cellars and stores
widows and wars
never win
Shatter the glass
and bust my ass
we begin
Unlock the knob
let your heart throb
it’s a sin
Beaches and shores
ditches and moors
quell the din
Color that pours
lion that roars
caged has been
Aw heck I am starting to make nonsense….
I like your poem.
@Aloysius_son - i like yours better. i need to go to the beach. in such a bad way.
wow. very cool, all of this, the photo (yours?) your poem, the comments.
@Bels_Kaylar - i love the comments i got too. yes, photo is mine. with my totally awesome phone and the features i just discovered. nice to see you again.
@promisesunshine - that is Some fone, then
thank you, sunny-footed one 
@Bels_Kaylar - i’m painting a chair with a sun on the back. i was thinking of putting the moon on the seat.
Hello and this is TD and Ruth has turned the blog over to me today and I am just stopping by to say hi.
@Grannys_Place - hi TD. thank you so much for your service. glad you’re feeling better. we worry about you and ruth.
@promisesunshine - you’re phunny! and clever; i think that would be perfect. a full moon seat
@Bels_Kaylar - now if only i had an ass for a model. whoops. i mean. i’ll look to the night sky for inspiration.
