Looking Out The Window

I see but I don't feel,

Open I am to my surroundings

Finding it difficult to understand

The inconsistencies and complications

Sunshine comes with its brightness

Putting a smile on faces

Blooming flowers and hungry plants are fed

Such a beautiful sight

But when it rains, it pours

With its mighty wind

Pushing away anything that stands in its way

Oh such an ugly sight

Terrified I am

But as I look at the bigger picture

Don't living things need rain for water?

I sit silently under a shelter

Who am I to judge?

I am just looking out the window
