The girl by the window
December 5, 2025
By the window she stands
Blue gusts of wind flow on the outdoors painting the sky a deep ocean
By the window she stands
Gazing, glancing, glaring at the blue which has consumed the locale
By the window she stands
Staring at the peculiar light that is not painted by the sky nor consumed by it
By the window she waits
She waits for the light to consume her rather than the blue
By the window she waits
Waits for her life to begin beyond the blue
By the window she stands and waits
For her life to begin

I love this poem. I interpret it as a curious young girl, held back by the restraint of age. She's waiting till she's older to stop waiting by the window and go out and eplore the things she's been observing since she was a little girl
This is a Ekphrastic Poem about the painting "The girl by the window" and it is me looking in on the poem.
