A Room With A View

A Room With A View

My room perched on top of the world
A view like a 3D technicolor movie

My room with a view, constantly changing
A window, an archway, a tree
where all day I can watch birds sing
a lovely up-lifting kind of thing
A view that pans out before me forever
I can see far away on the horizon
the distant hills

I wonder .......
are the people over there gazing back at me?

I ponder .......
My view from my room is a gift of creation
My room with a view is of someone else's making
whoever it was built this house
my life would be so much less without
my room with a view

I thank you

Sweet thoughts, Janine. I remember you saying that you now lived in your dream home, this sounds so much like that :) My own "room" (that I write from) is the "Blue Room" Although it is actually Indigo. Rachelle

Oh Janine! How wonderful it is to awaken each morning and look out at the new dawn and imbibe all of nature's gifts abount me. We are blessed indeed to have a Room With a View. I'll think of you, now as I, too, look out with a song in my heart and adore this gift of God, A Room With a View. I love you, Newell

Janine, I love you soooo much, I am going to comment on this one again. It’s even better than the first time I read it at the old site. Your magical room with a view is spectacular! ~Sharon

I like this poem very much. It to me signifies that although curiosity as well as uncertainty can still make a person very thankful for what they have, almost love that is If its okay with you we should talk about writing about the people who are looking back at the room with a view, see there perspective. Or maybe even write about who made it and why. Maybe he made the view to see a beauty he could only love from a distance. Whoa, got carried away. Sometimes you just get inspired! Robert
