Interesting piece! First, I like the idea that the whole thing is about an idea. It seemed so. They can both inspire and hide, and cross roads and look in (or out) windows. And you say "idea" in the first line. (: ...Yet, perhaps there is more here.
Sunlight moves a bit like that, for example -OR- maybe it's all about the moon. I kinda' like that idea a lot, too. The moon, which we gaze at in reveries, and which counts our days, and gives off a white light, sees our wishes, and more.
It could be something simpler, too. A butterfly, a flower, a song, a desire....
So really, I think poems can sometimes work when they make readers work, and believe this is one that works. There are a lot of images to choose between if trying to make a kernel of a subject, but if just read as it is, letting images flow through, it's still very nice and refreshing.
(fyi, I think you have a typo here: "...I known it to not escape...")

Beautiful poem and the picture is breathtaking...
to feel ownership of that peace. god willing we all could have these moments...and they could last even longer than the flowers might.
