Looking Out My Window

******************************

Looking out of my window

Through the trees and morning mist

And slight open sky,

Fading and falling beams of light

Where you once were….

Where are you now?

You are in my memory,

In the heart that reels from what was

And what might have been…

History and confusion; life carries on

Leading us to think, Why? Why!

The soft bell rings

Reminding us, we’re still here…

Or are we?
