I've read this poem a couple of times and I see the window as a portal to the poet soul but also to a myriad of possibilities and direction that life beyond that window can take you. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the excellent review and your take on the poem. I kind of saw the window as a portal from the soul to the outside world, which remains out of touch, and just imagined from the window. Or as a place from which someone watches life go by. estory
Comment from Jodi Ann Anderson
Your poem is a well written description of how our life can be. We tend to live in our comfort zone, with hopes and dreams never realized. Sorry about your father, and keep on writing great poems. Maybe poetry is your dream now realized!

I enjoyed reading your poem. This is how I feel right now. I could feel your pain through your words. Life can be so difficult. The poem is well written. Great job

Comment from BethShelby
I think a writer has a better chance to latch onto something lasting. I've had some of the same thoughts while looking at names of my ancestors on tombstones. It they didn't achieve any fame during their lifetime where someone might leave a written record about them it was almost like they are have been reduced to a single name and have disappeared. I least if those who know them can write some meaningful about their life and get it in print, perhaps they won't b totallly forgotten. If you are a believer in a hearafter, I tend to feel nothing is really lost. There are likely record in Heaven of everthing good or bad we ever did.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
The ups and downs in life are endured and enjoyed and we must always realise that our path will not run smoothly all the time, but it is how we deal with problems along the way that make life worthwhile. We can either fight against the storm or ride it. A fine post, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Jesse James Doty
With this Windows poem, you grasp the idea well of all of us wondering why and how we are going to get through life.
I think you make your point early on and then give example after example until we can't wait until the end. But the message is crystal clear. The windows of our lives will defend and protect us from the world and all that goes on around it.
Thanks for sharing your views on our lives and how we dance the dance of identity.

Comment from Nicole Schmidt
Through these windows we've seen days come and go,
The midnight sky brightening in the east
And then settling at last into the mysterious west.
We hear things in the distance:
Awesome job

Comment from Shanbreen
Estory, overall, I like this poem, particularly when you wonder about someone else looking through the window at you.
We wonder if there is anyone else out there
Thinking of us in here
Sitting at this window
With our pen in our hand,
Wondering what we're writing about.
You ask the eternal question that plagues humans: What happens to what we leave behind. (Perhaps, someone will find our notes in a bottle, floating on the water and remember your work =)). You may not be Shakespeare, Byron, Monet or Picasso, but perhaps a family member or a friend may take a glance at what you have done.
