Through An Open Window
Folder:
Wildlife/Nature Noises of a neighborhood,
a fast car driving by.
A billowing breeze wafting in
that makes the curtains fly.
Chirping little birds
the busy, buzzing bees.
The soft rustling whisper
of lightly swaying trees.
Sunlight pouring in
warming up the room.
Evening coolness, so refreshing
the bright glow of the moon.
The sweet smell of a summer rain
intertwining with flowery air.
In the distance, ever so faintly
a far-off siren's blare.
Little children laughing
while they play about.
The scent of grilling foods
from the nextdoor neighbor's cookout.
A tell-tale little noise of a bell
that the ice cream man is ringing.
The splashing of a sparrow
in the birdbath while she's singing.
Through an open window
the world is close at hand.
But if you always keep it closed
life becomes so bland.
