Window Sonnet
What you want to give me is a window
through which to view your world beyond my own
where the morning sun shines in to warm me
with light to show the way to love and truth;
opening to welcome warm spring breezes
and laughing neighbor children as they play;
to shut against the cold of winter nights,
safe-shelter me away from falling rain.
Oh what a gift of life and joy and warmth
this seems to be, when looked at from the inside.
But I am just a sparrow flying free
you give me just reflections of the sky
I in love and trust receive them gladly;
enter your deception, die against glass.
