A NEW WINDOW

One day

he found a new window

in his apartment.

It opened in a peaceful manner,

and strangely,

it made his folded life

feel like it was opening also.

The look of trees

became unbelievable,

the streets seemed bold,

the car across the street

sparkled like it came

from a blessed land.

He saw things

he’d never seen before –

the vividness of smiles,

the softness of hearts.

He wondered about other

undiscovered windows.
