Poetry Thursday - "An Open Window"
Poetry Thursday has come to an end. I will miss this club and the wonderful poets who have inspired and encouraged me. Poetry has opened a window of creative expression that I had never explored. I see things in completely different ways due to poetry and I love to share them. I've seen my poetry touch Dave's heart and maybe someone who has never liked poetry has been moved. Thank you Liz and Dana for all your hard work and time in creating a safe place to explore and share poetry. This was written by my husband and I as we looked out our window this morning.
Through an Open Window
the morning breeze caresses my body
like a cool sheet on a hot summer’s eve.
The sun emerges over the mountain top
beaming rays of hope awakening slumber.
Crisp clean air fills my lungs as I inhale
like a fresh pot of coffee fueling my day.
The song of the finch fills me with joy
as they splash like children taking a bath.
My eye’s open to nature emblazoned in color
like a comforting quilt made from loving hands.
Thunder heads rising above mountain tops
familiar shapes that beckon to be touched.
The outside will never be kept away from me as
it fuels my creativity like rain nourishes the earth.
Nature spills her beauty over me and poetry flows
from my heart as God speaks to me
through an open window.

A beautiful statement about how PT and poetry have changed your life. It is so cool that you and Dave wrote this together.
You and I (and Dave!) were thinking alike this morning when we wrote our poem :)
This is beautiful~your view sounds so inspirational. God does speak to us in these moments.
oh wow ~ what a beautiful way to say thank you and i am so joyous that you and dave wrote this together, so beautiful you two ... warm hugs!
"as God speaks to me
through an open window."-- That is so nice. I love it.
:)
of course, that doesn't mean you can't still post poems for us on Thursday!
I love that you two worked together on that poem - and it is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.
WOW! I LOVE this poem! It's very detailed and lifelike. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea it was to write this one together! And what a lovely poem you created. I was going to say "Cool," but...Star already said it!
Beautiful. I am so touched by all you wrote. Thank you Robin and Dave.
That's a beautiful poem, and even more special to know that you and D wrote it together.
Nice. Some view you must have from that window.
I'm going to miss Poetry Thursday, too - but I hope you keep posting your wonderful poetry.
I love that the two of you collaborated on this, Tammy - how totally cool! XOXO
It's not over Tammy, a new site on Sept. 4th.
Windows to your soul, that is what your words mean to me.
((((Tammy)))))
I love that both of you wrote this together. Hope you have a great weekend and stop back if you have time to read my short story.

"The outside will never be kept away from me as

I say amen to that, tammy!
This was so beautiful, Tammy- you and Dave are perfect together! I loved the whole last line- maybe that open window is our heart...
xoxo
It's all in what we let ourselves see - for some of us, the view from the window constantly nourishes and the small things that are overlooked so easily are often the things that can bring the most joy.
Wonderful imagery, Tammy and Dave ... your words will be in my mind when I look out my open window next.
Hi Tammy! How romantic and totally beautiful!! You and Dave writing this together made me feel so happy -- what a cool couple you two are. Your words are filled with such light, nature, color, and love!
:)
Keep writing and living beautiful poetry. Peace & love, JP/deb
Tammy,
Seriously...
SERIOUSLY....
Have you considered making a book of your poetry and prose?
You must.
Love,
Nance
This is a very touching poem - I really enjoyed it.
His thin nostrils were http://www.jouqoech.info/?search=poliert+mit+lampen working like the gills of a fish.. He had already fatigued himself, http://www.jouqoech.info/?search=wa+hlen+sie+selbst+n he had explained, and his mother had favored him with a significant look...
Such a beautiful collaboration - rather like your relationship. xo
Very beautiful Tammy just like your soul! Well done you two!
Hugs Sherrie
