window sonnet

What you want to give  me is a window
Through which to view the world beyond my own
where the morning sun shines in to warm me
With light to show the way to love and truth

Opening to welcome warm spring breezes
and laughing neighbor children as they play
to shut against the cold of winter nights
safe shelter me away from falling rain

oh what a gift of life and joy and warmth
this seems to be, when looked at from inside

But I am just a sparrow flying free
you give me just reflections of the sky
I in love and trust receive them gladly
enter your deceptions, die against glass
