The boy on the porch step

Sitting there
on the porch step,
gazing down,
worried 
or sad, but it is hard to tell,
the face without hope,
the lonely boy, sitting on the steps,
his eyes vacant,

like maybe he once had hope,
once believed in a better future,
but not now,
not anymore.
He just stays 
sitting there 
on the porch step.

    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
