For writers group, theme: seasons.

________________________________________________________________

The life in her eyes is slowly fading. All she once possessed is almost gone now. The hollow, empty look is taking over and I can't find the life.

~

The wind blows outside as the seasons change once again. The trees are lifeless until spring, and the ground begins to freeze with ice and snow. Nothing lives out there, simply because there is nothing to help it along.

~

Her life is gone. Her eyes are empty. The colour has been washed out, and all that remains is a subtle grey tone. Her pedestal has crumbled, and the earth begins to consume her.

The living, both human and the elements, are projected at a time of death in this nicely composed piece of prose. From dust to dust.
