Imagine
Beyond the shuttered window
The arms of the world
Opened for you--
The light, the song--
One saturates the other
In invisible waves that wash
The night away.
Imagine
Beyond the shuttered window
Breaking day on the
Light edge of your dreams
Lithe and light as clouds
Bathed in song and light.
Imagine everything.
Then fly.
Beyond the shuttered window
The arms of the world
Opened for you--
The light, the song--
One saturates the other
In invisible waves that wash
The night away.
Imagine
Beyond the shuttered window
Breaking day on the
Light edge of your dreams
Lithe and light as clouds
Bathed in song and light.
Imagine everything.
Then fly.

Sandy, I enjoyed the bio piece on David's blog. Nicely done. Now you have returned with a great poem. Have a great Sunday. Pappy
Sandy,
I am so happy to have gotten up early to read your poem. Absolutely breathtaking. Such a wonderful start to the day! Thanks.
Wonderful! And, it gives so much to think about.
Perfect companions,
the image and the words!
I love the mysterios quality of the picture, and the way it reveals itself slowly to the attentive viewer.
Something beyond the ordinary when the window is opened.
I really like the image of the shuttered and closed window and the mysterious surprise that waits outside. Very nice.
beautiful! in this i saw a reminder to get out from behind my camera lens too (must be the word 'shutter'). i love the many layers found in poems!
"Imagine everything/then fly." So lovely, Sandy. Your positive attitude makes it seem possible! :)
Back from Boston! Had a very enjoyable time!

This poem is bright and light as a feather!
it reminds me of narnia! and our final journey to heaven.
So sorry to hear that the weather gods have not delivered the blue sky they ought to for the Fourth of July weekend! I hope your sky turn blue soon.
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. :-)
I am minded of Alice's adventures on the other side of the mirror.
Having the choice of being able to open or close the shutters allows us the control of how much light we allow to be be shed upon our lives.
Nice.
for some reason this pic reminds me of the ressurection tomb of jesus in the bible. nice, sandy!

Utterly exquisite. I want to say a lot, but I think utterly exquisite is best. This poem is perfection itself.
Beautiful poem-imagination-one of the best things in life.
Makes me wonder what's on the other side. Neat shot!

Sandy,
First, I see that you are a gifted writer and then, as I peruse your sites, I see that you are also an incredible photographer. You have been blessed with many talents.
Breathy - that's the word that came to my mind - this one is one of my faves!
Your comment "one saturates the other" is almost "scientifically divine"! Powerful!
After reading this I can nearly imagine myself flying. Thank you.
What a beautiful poem! I loved this one. Great writing!
