It was another quiet day.

It was another quiet day.
The window is an art form
The landscape changes
With the movement of the heavens
The drift of the clouds
I can see her
Paint dripping onto the canvas
Creating magic.
Nothing I have done
Has erased this picture
It follows the passing of days
The movement of stars.
When I look at the moon
It reminds me
Of sadness
An empty glass,
The vacancy of
My haggard face
Barely reflected.
Windows are a thin disguise
The image I see is never
As I imagine myself to be
Not as she saw me.
Laughing at the thought
Is a mood changer
Every window
Is a contrast
Curating a story
From a different perspective.
I can see her
In the centre of the frame,
Counting daisies
Making something wonderful,
Out of nothing.
