Window Panes
There is a world I know
Far beyond the window panes
Where others live and love
And children die by ten
Because there is a world
Back here with me
That stares beyond window panes
Thinks of other lives and loves
And children dead by ten.
Far beyond the window panes
Where others live and love
And children die by ten
Because there is a world
Back here with me
That stares beyond window panes
Thinks of other lives and loves
And children dead by ten.

I wrote this poem many years ago. I got it down in one session and have not modified it since the composition. The last line is not what it at first seems. Does dead by ten refer to age or time ? when travelling in a train at dusk one has a reflection in the glazing of the coach interior . . .or one can focus on the landscape flashing passed. This set me thinking,the result I still find difficult to interpret. this centers on people thinking yet doing nothing with those thoughts Thankyou Anglelast for calling

Funny....I had a very different interpretation. I thought this was referring to war and destruction of other peoples, based on the fear that one himself was under thread of destruction. I thought this because of the 'children dying by ten". Man was I off.....
