Look at you

What do you wonder
when you wander by the window
and stare out into a world
you see in your own way?

Always opting for outside.
It’s out there you prefer
than the ever-seeming locked in
feeling of indoors.

Perhaps because we know
containment isn’t capable.
Your boundless aspirations
are too big to fit in this house.

Your potential too large to even fit outside.
That’s why it calls for you
and you answer every time.
The moment a door opens, you step through it.

The moment the blinds separate, you’re looking out.
And we’ll be here standing in the doorway,
keeping an eye from a distance
on our girl who belongs anywhere she goes.
