Diamond-Pane Dreaming

At the time, we were living in a house that we did not have much of an affinity with, as far as houses go (just a personal preference), although grateful to have a house at all...                                                            

There’s always something good to be found though, and the front rooms did have wonderful elevated views over the gum-tree tops.  I had woken before dawn, and my “dreaming” in the darkness took the form of rustic cottages with diamond-paned windows, which I have always liked, evoking memories of my late grandparents’ home in Melbourne...... and Gran’s spiky pink Japonica bush! The sunrise stole into my room then, with a stunning pink and gold glory, silhouetting the gums.              

I realised it was not about the type of windows that mattered too much, but the sight afforded through them! I also felt “Promise”, like movement in the darkness; the “shshshsh” of gliding wings, past the window; of good things here on earth; and of heavenly mansions with a lot more than diamond-paned windows!                                                    

All this unknown still, yet coming swiftly in time.
