Poem I like

"I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passerby, nods to me and goes."
- Rabindranath Tagore

        I like this poem because it gives me a feeling of understanding that time is passing and that the world is watching you as you watch it.

A Piece of Sky

The window led to a piece of sky
Who told the child the story
of how it came to be

In return,
The child shyly explained
How he came to be aware of the sky

The Hymn of a Gardener


When you snip a flower
Off from the Earth
For your little glass vase
Make it matter.

Make it so the little
Red rose does not mind
That it is not home, 
That it will die soon.

Put it near a window
Give it a shower
Make it feel of use
That it has at least--

Done one good deed, in its life.
