The Skylight

You were the one for skylights. I opposed
Cutting into the seasoned tongue-and-groove
Of pitch pine. I liked it low and closed,
Its claustrophobic, nest-up-in-the-roof
Effect. I liked the snuff-dry feeling,
The perfect, trunk-lid fit of the old ceiling.
Under there, it was all hutch and hatch.
The blue slates kept the heat like midnight thatch.
But when the slates came off, extravagant
Sky entered and held surprise wide open.
For days I felt like an inhabitant
Of that house where the man sick of the palsy
Was lowered through the roof, had his sins forgiven,
Was healed, took up his bed and walked away.

Wow The two first are so amazing :)) Really beautiful places and great captures Congrats helys · 2012-07-18: 06:31

fascinating perspectives, especially number 2! Lights seeping through like that is always so enticing! globetrotdreamer · 2012-07-18: 10:18

La touche lumineuse d'espoir... Et visiblement il faut la mériter, elle est haut perchée ! Je vous vole la deuxième parce que cette petite lumière vue dans la première, éclate ici :)) josy63 · 2012-07-18: 12:12

I kinda like the last one :) idorudoll · 2012-07-19: 03:38

I find the last shot very intiguing! Personally I love really big windows ;)) Being indoors while still very much connected with the outdoors.. nynkeb · 2012-07-19: 04:43

2 is dizzying, and I like 3 best! CHOSSID · 2012-07-19: 09:51

Eu gosto de todas, a primeira é como a luz no fundo do túnel e nas outras duas gosto do ambiente leitoso criado pela luminosidade. Unchained · 2012-07-26: 14:02
