FROM THE BALCONY
standing on the balcony
looking down at the garden
upkept
blossoms fading-wilting
crying for attention
weary from neglect
once so alive- thriving
full of life- passionate
brilliant colors
flourishing
blowing in the wind
a garden of happiness
laughter was heard
the gardener touched his
flowers
with tender loving care
looking from the balcony
the gardener is no longer
there.
