By The Window

Morning light across the glass
Coffee cooling, minutes pass
Footsteps drifting down the street
Life and rhythm gently meet
Children laughing on the way
Someone rushing through the day
Every story passing by
Like clouds across a quiet sky

And I don’t need to run
Or chase what used to be

I sit here by the window
Watching the world unfold
Every little moment
Like a story softly told
The traffic, laughter, strangers
All moving like a song
And for a little while
I feel like I belong

Old man walking with his dog
Two girls dancing in the fog
Someone humming as they ride
A bicycle that glides by
Curtains sway in summer air
Nothing loud, but life is there
All the small things passing through
Paint the day in quiet hues

Maybe peace is something small
Just letting moments come and fall
No need to hurry, no need to roam
Sometimes the window is enough of a home

So I sit here by the window
And watch the world go by
Not missing anything
Just letting time walk by.
