Poem:

Whenever I see a window

            open to light and air,

And how amenable it is

              to elements we share,

I think of certain principles

                of virtue nonetheless,

Directed toward windows

                  of souls that we possess.

True, gratifying openness

                   remain assured when we

Look through an open window

                     to watch things moving free,

And take delight in sceneries

                       that Nature must portray,

Upon which our hearts are set

                         to cherish everyday,

Which prompts me to reflect upon

                           the need to open, too,

Built-in windows of our souls

                             to let good feelings through.
