Fading Light


Over the horizon

Light spills

Patianetly lapping at my heels

As I mount

The waiting train.

 

Fully submerged
 
I sit by the window
 
Watching as 
 
The vibrant colors surge by 
 
Like the hands on my watch converg-
 
Ing time after time
 
Until I notice the world’s not so bright
 
Anymore
 
I frantically crane my eyes
 
To the skies
 
Until I finally realize
 
My childhood has flown 
 
Behind me.
