Heather Burns - From The Balcony

standing on the balcony
looking down the garden unkept
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
full of laughter

the gardener touched his flowers
with tender loving care

looking from the balcony
the gardener is no longer there.

Heather Burns
