That window, where you were looking for light

Somewhere in the east, did the window break?

A fair sun, a jealous moon, is that right,

How much more could anyone really take?

The lady, love poised on balcony high

Waited, so long for some star-crossed lover,

Softly in such a night, wondering why.

(Could she ever love again, another?)

The problems held by such a family

Make no difference in the light of all things.

So much more that could, or yet could not be

Are swept up and onward from what love brings.

From your window high, you shared such a love

As soliloquy was smiled from above.
