Light shines
Dimly
Through the window;
The first signs
Of sunrise
Through the clouds

No bird sing,
But they are there –
Puffed up against
The residual cold
Of night
And winter…
And death

I watch
The oranges and pinks and blues
Of distant dawn
Paint the clouds

And I think of you

My great grandmother died recently, and it seems like every little thing reminds me of her.

&quot;The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.&quot; <br /> &quot;Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.&quot;

This is amazing, cavyheart. Even better than your other poems. Great descriptions, but not too much. It's really good.
