Whispers from the Window
peeking through the shutters
In the stillness of dusk, when shadows creep,
I find a quiet corner, take a gentle peep.
Through the glass pane, I gaze at the street,
Where the world spins softly on its delicate feet.
A flicker of laughter drifts through the air,
Children chasing dreams without a single care.
Their giggles cascade like a sweet serenade,
In the twilight’s embrace, where memories are made.
The houses stand silent, each story concealed,
Behind curtains and shutters, their secrets revealed.
I see a flicker of light from a window nearby,
A candle’s soft glow, like a star in the sky.
An old couple sits close, hands intertwined,
Their love like a whisper, forever aligned.
In their eyes, a history, a lifetime shared,
In the warmth of their silence, their hearts have bared.
A young girl spins tales with a plush bear in tow,
Her imagination dances, where wild rivers flow.
In the kingdom she conjures, she reigns as a queen,
Through the window, I watch her, a magical scene.
A man in a coat, lost deep in his thoughts,
With a coffee in hand, the world he forgot.
As raindrops fall softly, a rhythm they keep,
I wonder of dreams that in his heart sleep.
The world outside shimmers in twilight’s embrace,
Each window a portal to a different space.
I see life unfolding in moments so sweet,
In the stories we live, where strangers all meet.
A mother sings softly, lulling her child,
With lullabies weaving through nights tender and mild.
Her voice, like a melody, cradles the air,
In that fleeting moment, pure love lays bare.
As darkness deepens, the stars start to peek,
Through the glass, I absorb every sound, every streak.
The streetlights awaken, casting golden hues,
Painting the canvas with soft, gentle blues.
A window is more than just glass and a frame,
It’s a bridge to the world, a keeper of flame.
It frames every heartbeat, each tear and each cheer,
A glimpse into life, both far and near.
With each passing moment, I find something new,
In the stories unfolding just out of view.
The laughter, the heartache, the dreams that we keep,
All captured in whispers, through my window peep.
As night drapes its curtain, the world starts to slow,
I linger a while, letting my heart overflow.
For in this small moment, I feel so alive,
Through the windows of life, our spirits survive.
So I raise my glass to the lives intertwined,
To the dreams and the hopes in the hearts that I find.
In the quiet of twilight, I take my deep leap,
Embracing the beauty found in a window peep.
In this vast tapestry, woven so wide,
We’re all just reflections, a turn of the tide.
Through the panes that divide us, the stories we reap,
Are reminders that love is a treasure to keep.
