Faces in the Window
I have 3 trees outside my bedroom window. they are old and leaning. On some nights, when it is still outside, I lie in my bed and look out the window. If the leaves are just right, and you look carefully, you can make out faces. On some nights I can see up to 3 faces. One is always a front view. It is always smiling. The others are profile view. If there is a breeze outside, the faces seem to be nodding their heads and sometimes their mouths move. As if they were having a conversation amongst themselves. I started to wonder if they were spying on me. wait...leaves dont spy...do they? When your tired, your mind can play tricks on you. This started to creep me out.
Over time I got used to seein my night time visitors. After all, if I can get used to a empty rocking chair rocking, whats a few leaves. i came to several conclusions
1) I have an overactive mind and should just go to sleep when im tired..
2) the leaves represent evil beings. Laughing and talking about me. Waiting for me to fall asleep so they can haunt me in my dreams.
3) the leaves represent angels. Loved ones from my past. looking down at me and smiling. watching over me till I fall asleep.
I prefer to think of it as the later.
