High School:  Second Place

 

One Window is All I Need

 

One window is all I need

to see snow, floating to the ground

collecting inch by inch over the open fields

One window is all I need

to let a cool breeze in

carrying the scent of hot apple pie

cooling in the window sill

One window is all I need

to see fall colored leaves

stirring on the ground

to hear the wind howling

and leaves ruffling against each other

One window is all I need

to see a bright red cardinal

perched on a fencepost

chirping at the sky
