The Windows of the World

The windows of the world
came flying
embracing my imagination

The funnel of the big ship
took us to England
and the little girl saw the sea
for the first time
while the old man played the piano
and told funny stories

And as the little girl grew up
she matured into a woman
blessed by the fields
waved to by the clouds
and kissed by the moon

Two little kids walked around
holding each other's hands
and they kept remembering
this first window to the World
and grew up in spite of
hurricanes and madness

Imagination and reality
went for a walk
when the guitar and the violin
played Irish folk and told the story of
whiskey in the jar down the Kerry mountains
and Guinness found themselves
another friend for life

The Windows of the World
came flying
and embraced me
dearly

This is a fantastic poem! I love the idea of the windows of the world as the little girl traveled and how they mixed with the windows of her imagination. It's a visual and beautiful poem. You take the reader on an adventure with you. I like it very much.
