Pages Turn

By Meredith Hicks

I watch from my window

as life begins to fade

The vibrant joyous green

turns

like a page 

and just for a second

there’s hope

as the light hits 

the golden glimpses

But, I blink

and it’s all just brown beneath me

I watch from my window

as life begins to fade
