Faces behind the glass panels

staring at the snow or rain.
Children sticking their nose , snubbed against the glass,
and in their eyes the reflections
of sounds, the vistas of the world they imagine out of the reach,
and the longing that says "when shall I break out
into the world out there/"
At such moments the are just about to break the shell.
The growing pains when the body wants to know
the strange being inside, who is calling forth,
and they do not know who it is that was housed in the body,
waking up to the wonders of the miracles which the body is.
