Not Disappointed

Hoping for one outcome,
but finding another
it is highly possible 
to spend too much time looking at the closed-door,
not noticing the  open window.

Sheer curtains billowing,
fresh breezes blowing softly
across bare feet
tip-toeing across 
sun-bleached wooden floors,
the scent of tea olives
tickling,
and the sound of birds
trilling their joy.

Fool,
bask in the light of today
for climbing out a window
may prove to be far better than
any threshold you could have imagined.
