Glories

I sit with my back to the window
And the entire world without,
Temptations of flowers and mountains,
The call of woods
And rivers and oceans,
Stone circles,
Forts in the rocks,
Ancient domains,
Abandoned dwellings,
Restored glories,
Churches and graves,
Ruins and shipwrecks,
Halls and corridors,
Clouds and rainbows,
Pools and pillars,
Subterranean limestone
and acid formations,
Bones and fossils,
Prints and paintings,

From flint to teflon,
Thread to broadband,
Trails to roads,
Signs and words,
Symbols in space,
Design and accident
and mystery,
Potential and possibility,
Answers and more questions.

All of this beyond a window,
A barrier of glass and my back towards it.
