Ends

The morning's tide of light filters through low-hanging branches outside the window entering a room to spread across wrinkled skin covered in brown blotches on the arms of an old man lying in a bed of shadows the world inside his window is dim-lit and solemn the world outside his window is bright and filled with life children loudly laughing, birds chirping both bring a sense of peace and reflection and are a nice distraction from the constant flood of memories that drown his mind with too many thoughts of yesterday in the light of dawn comes a stillness he embraces as his days have grown tired and long the day ends as the last light of life becomes frozen
