The Window of Sorrow

Peeping out the window,
This little one will see,
The sky is overcast,
It will rain soon,
It Seems.

Out of the window,
She sees everyone in her life,
Living her,
All are walking away,
Away from her.

Why is she seeing this?
Why was it that today,
The sky is thus overcast,
Thus dark and gloomy,
Like a rainy November’s day.

The final straw came,
When the one she loved so
Came to the very window too,
To bid her goodbye.
Adieu Adieu.

That was when the rain,
The cold, cruel, rain,
The rain stinging,
Like salt water,
Came pouring down on the window

Then all to her was a blur,
Colors, textures,
A never ending swirl,
Of sorrow of what was left,
Of her soon to end world.
