by Meredith Hicks

I watch from my window

as life begins to fade

space

The vibrant joyous green

turns

like a page 

space

and just for a second

there’s hope

as the light hits 

the golden glimpses

space

But, I blink

and it’s all just brown beneath me

space

I watch from my window

as life begins to fade
