Poetry Flowing

Sitting in my tower
A vista of land and water before me
The vastness overwhelming

Seagulls circling overhead
Cackling
Crows sitting on the giant cedar
Heads cocked
Mocking

Looking out on the kingdom
Other peoples’ lives on display
Their happiness appealing

Families marching below
Laughing
Children running in the park
Hands held
Playing

Sitting in my tower
Thousands of lifetimes played out before me
The isolation enveloping
