May 3: Observe

For the daily prompt:

She sat near the window

In the backseat of the car

And watched the little raindrops

Thinking of her journey thus far

 

Trees and buildings rushed by

As the car sped along

She loved watching their blurred forms

While listening to her favorite song

 

The rain made little rivulets

In the crevices in the rocks

Little streams started flowing

And birds gathered in flocks

 

She felt a sense of freedom

Out here in the open

Not restricted by the city

Out here something wonderful could happen

 

She observed all the colors

Muted only a little by the rain

Finally some respite from the grey of concrete

Green was here once again

 

She loved these little outings

Despite not being able to walk

Her life was confined to a chair

But she was thankful she could at least talk

 

The world seemed so much bigger

When you always had to sit

Sometimes she felt so frustrated

And wanted to throw a fit

 

But life was what it was

And there wasn’t much to be done

So she decided to have a positive outlook

And in her mind, she could even run!
