The World outside the Window

In the room the world is dull

The walls and floor are plain

The lights are dimmed, the sound’s a constant hum

It always feels like it’s about to rain


Day in day out

Constant and unchanging

The sun rises and the sun sets

And you never hear a bird singing


Yet out of the corner of your eye

You can see the world outside

The bright sun on the green leaves

The brightening and waning of the day’s light


You see the leaves toss as they are blown

By a gale from the sea

You see butterflies and birds

Playing hide and seek amongst the trees


Storms arise and then subside

Behind that tinted glass

You see flowers bloom and then fade

And you find that you can trust


That though inside the world seems

To never ever change

But just outside the window

That world never stays the same
