The viewing room

1-window-on-the-world-andrzej-wojcickiscience-photo-library

The frame that holds this pane in place
once engineered our human race
this glass that I now view you through
once drifting grains of golden hue

This hollow cage now stripped of beat
was e’re before you incomplete
enough that after once we met
no mortal moment I’ll forget

  1. Thanks Ray, this came from multiple places. I have unfortunately had to attend too many Viewing rooms (sometimes for self and often to accompany others) the varied reactions of people once those curtains draw back can never be predicted…it is sometimes beautiful and sometimes horrifically unbearable. It is usually love that descends though, love and regret…heartbreaking really.
