Out the Window we Look

beyond the day, the hour, the minute
we live...  supposedly...
in silos of desires and wants,
fantasies of dreams and wishes
imagining what might be or not be,
we struggle with realities
wondering why we are less fortunate
basing perception of what we see,
what we think we know or that
which we have been told
by those we trust not to lie...
looking out the windows of our
lives...  we sit or stand...
as it makes little difference,
informed or not informed
as the case may be...
winter replaces sunshine and then
it is periodically reversed,
we know not how or why,
relishing in the change,
hoping for more of what we like
and less of what we do not,
knowing expectation fall short,
out the window we look
to see firsthand what will be.
