Vincent van Gogh, Window in the Studio (1889) courtesy dVerse poets pub

To Our Dismay

 There is in the wall a window appalled;

Shutting in or shutting out installed

Questions, those

Puzzlers, even

The mind most peacefully set, is enthralled.

    Very interesting take on a state of uncertain distress. I especially liked shutting out or shutting in questions. - Ordinary Person (Nitin)

    A puzzle indeed: The mind most peacefully set, is enthralled.

    With every window there is a wall... Keeping one in or protecting one from harm. Well done!

    I like the personification of the ‘window appalled’, Gillena, and the question of whether it shuts in or out is a pertinent one.

    Indeed... the window is such a permeable barrier to both the external and internal world.

    Shutting out or shutting in--the eye of the beholder. Excellent, Gillena. 💙
