You climb up to a cottage

Way up on a hill

You see the poet sitting

By the window sill

You creep up close

Just like a ghost

To see what he is writing

Through the poets window

You see a familiar pain

Deep inside

Strong feelings abide

Teardrops fall like rain

This poem has a bit of a double meaning. "through the poets window" is a line that represents not only the physical window, but also, the window of his soul or feelings. For me, poetry is an expression of real things, real emotion. It's that feeling you get when you read something and you identify with it, you immediately understand what the poet was feeling when they wrote it.
