An old window at the heritage homestead of Coolart, Balnarring overlooking the refreshed rolling earths and wetlands outside.
Thursday Think Tank #65 ~ Windows
Beyond earthly golds
Beyond the poverty of loss
Beyond the sylph of politics
Beyond the wound of stigma
Beyond the fountains of civilised knowledge
Pandora's
Wise
Windows
Enchant
N.B. There is an intended ambivalence - a platform for challenge - in the last stanza.
The Thursday Think Tank is hosted by Poets United
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Interesting last lines specially on the "wise" :
Pandora's
Wise
Windows
Enchant
It is tempting to open it for sure ~
Reminds me of a nesting doll... and the final message is powerful.
Your thoughts have me thinking, "Think Tank" worked; I think?
I believe Pandora's window comes with a box seat. There is not much left in it but hope.
Exactly!
What a lovely window view :)
This is just a beautiful combination of word and picture.
Cool! I love this poem... :)
Powerful words and nice picture...
