week 111 ~ a woman in the sun

she got up from the bed and stood
a woman in the sun looking
out her window contemplating
day and the world beyond she could
see it although she knew she would
not walk out her door no not yet
the brilliance still did not offset
her fear though it was beautiful
and full of life she felt the pull
of places she can not forget

she looks back once memorizing
the long pathway that got her here
the things she’ll miss she can see clear-
ly but tomorrow is waiting
