day one: window

outside my window
sits a bird on a tree
yellow, happy, chirping
and carefree

outside my window
i watch grass grow
green shoots thriving
in the suns warm glow

outside my window
i watch you with her
gazing into her eyes
with a cliched glamour

outside my window
i watch seasons pass
leaves to snow to flowers
to sunshine and grass

outside my window
i watch whole lives go by
i see people meet people
i watch love bloom and die

i am stuck here staring
at the silhouette of a crow
wishing that i could be
outside my window
