#9- "The Garden Wall"
The thick bricks separate the gardens.
One lush and full of beauty,
The other barren, desolate, with only a speck of love.
In the one the flowers grow over eachother,
Each trying to outshine the other.
It's easy to get lost amongst that beauty.
Easy to forget the thorns.
In the other one lone flower stands out,
Framed by dry cracked earth.
It shines, there's nothing to compete against.
It's thorns are seen, yet do not matter.
The two gardeners jealously look over the wall.
Each wants the others garden.
One wishes for the simple, exquisite beauty given off by that single flower.
The other wishes for masses of flowers to fill his view.
And yet each guards jealously what is his.
