The Window 12.12.11

THE WINDOW      12.12.11

I recall making a new friend not long ago,

trying to explain a bit of who I am.

I'm not very good at talking

but I seem to have a knack for writing,

or is it just a willingness to share what most people wouldn't?

It's like a window into the soul of a man trying to figure life out.

For my life's been turned upside down by the events of the past year!

The very core of how I view life has taken such a dramatic shift.

It's such a wonderful time everything seems so new,

yet so perplexing too,

for all I thought I knew seems so misguided now.

That's how we grow we push the boundaries of our knowledge,

and in so doing sometimes we step far beyond where we were.

Only to find we have stepped into a new world as it were.

Where we initially feel so out of place but as we grow into it

the old world is the one that seems so out of place.

All My Love Always, Keith

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,

all the walks I want to take,

all the books I want to read,

and all the friends I want to see.

John Burroughs
