Array ( [sid] => 108306 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Self Portrait [time] => 2005-10-23 15:51:23 [hometext] => You fill in the rest, I have told you everything, without overloading your mind, writes Meagan:> [bodytext] => I see the world through my window frame,
Square, it holds a picture, my central point
Not the whole world; volume sets my eyes
My world, perceiving nature from here:>

I look closely at a far away tree, its’ shallow
A thicker, artistic one behind
The sky above shows it subtle blue tones
White clouds linger over, such grace:>

Flattering light, no shadows, marbled sky
Blue, white, patches of silver dust, natures depth
My face of love; beautiful, great
Reflecting crisp, icy-cool weather:>

Sunny day, I filter the fresh air
Glimpsing with my blurry, talented eyes
I do silly things with my mind, my heart
To bring me joy, before sundown:>

“Set me my world, I say, my air felt breeze
This, I can realize in this state of mind,
Perhaps you are my self-portrait, from the skies
Communicating, through my eyes?” :>

Very nice write. We must look out through very similar window frames. I see much of the very same things. The trees and sky and now that is it crisp and cool the deer amble around the property and pond for they know they are safe here. I enjoy nature so much. It is such a gift from God. I don't know why man is intent upon destroying it. Rita

Meagan I do so agree with you sweet lady. Such beautiful words warms ones heart and opens ones eyes to the splendor that is in front of them. Another very well written piece of poetry from a very gifted poetess. Well done.
*hugs*

Yes, I concur with the Eternal Dreamer Meagan, this is beautifuloy written.
Nature is such a great gift from a loving Father in Heaven, and so many cannot see the glory around them.
Though all that is has a forward thrust, there is beauty in everything that moves and grows.as it unrfolds.
Thank you for sharing your beautifully penned poem with us.
HBlessings
Elizabeth

Some good, descriptive words that gave the reader some clear imagery. It very much has an introspective feel to it.
Nice write Meagan, keep it up : )

Very true, everyone has the apex mind, you cannot be in all places at the same time, you take it in from where you are, what you perceive to be truth, until you are to be called, from Him, up above, the self portrait that we are, same face created from that window box, the square:> if you notice, everything I write, is up high, not on ground level:>

This poem shines a soft light on your soul. The beauty within pours out through your well crafted words for all of us to experience and enjoy. Isn't it sad that many people look through their own window frames but never see through it?
