Metamorphosis

The door is closed, the windows shut, the blinds drawn down.

Outside, the sun is out, children are playing, flowers are blooming. Colours aplenty, a rainbow in the sky. A world awaits.

Inside, shades of gray.

Outside, the children's laughter, mothers chatting, birds singing, the roar of car engines. A world awake with life.

Inside, still silence.

In this dark room I now await, slowly changing, slowly waiting, for the day when I can step out again and partake in this wonderful world.

Until then, shades of gray, still silence. A long wait.
