Exchange

Searching through windows I am pinched with a hunger
for self knowledge, for time well spent.

My perception signifies my intent held upon as eclipse
of wonder.  Breathless I open a curtain, peer through the window
where a land lies full of desires that seek my
final touch.

Seeking for an opening to astonishment that awakens
my determination to flourish, to unveil my true light.

Feeling the vibrations as the tolling bells sound out the
excellence of my tribute to self worth.  In awe I find
an inner calmness that overshadows my timidity.

Faithfully searching a wind blows to close the curtain, and
I step back to find a unique sense of self that does not evade me.
