If There Were No Windows

If there were no windows the world would be forgotten

Isolated from human touch and of mind and body the spirits lost

No need to get out just caught in a trap, of solitude confinement

To wither away, loss of hunger, memory would fade and loneliness

Would enter the body, depression would set and nothing to look forward

Without a view nothing to see I surely would soon become blind by day

If there were no windows I could not get fresh air, I would sufficate in my own breath

Lost in my silence I would soon go mad, no where to escape to

Only the windows of my mind, and they too would simply fly away
