Jarred and Unjarred

Seeing the world through crystal walls
curving around, protecting me.
Safely alone, I sit observing—
never jarred by what I see.
Infrequently, the lid screws open,
and sweet music streams into me.
Then I reach, sealing it tighter,
content to watch instead of be.

The prompt is to write a poem of exactly 44 words on the subject “Jar”

      I combine both aspects in my personality. I love watching but also participating..I think lots of artists and writers have these two adverse sides to their personalities.

    This saddened me at first until I read it again. I think the title says a lot. We need security and solace along with our interactions and there is much to be learned from observing as well as participating. Thanks for joining in at dVerse.
