At The Window
darkness has settled
I cannot help but think of her
a moonless night

and a tree
and a night
Written on May 1st, 2024. Visualized by DALL-E and Microsoft Designer. It is an extremely simple poem, which, strangely enough, I am particularly fond of precisely because of its simplicity.
The trick of the poem is to make great things seem small—in this case, the night, which is only briefly mentioned at the very end as something incidental. Yet, in reality, it is fundamental. You have to see it yourself, ideally from your own window, on a special night. That’s the magic.
serene, quiet, still, calm, peaceful, tranquil, silent, ethereal, mysterious, dark, cool, distant, vast, endless, solitary, timeless, shadowy, soft, pale, delicate, reflective, dreamy, haunting, meditative.
When you gaze out of a window into the world, especially into nature and darkness, it changes your perspective compared to being outside yourself. This view from within creates a unique frame, a boundary between your inner sanctum and the vast expanse beyond.
