WHILE I WAS AWAY....
Bright red roses
bloomed in my little garden,
The lily pond’s song
encored.
Misty mornings and peeping
rays,
Starry nights and the
silvery moon
Came and went by soon
While I was
away….
Crisp autumn shades
colored my little garden,
So did the brilliant
bed of snow.
The
vivid colors of vibrant spring
and
the scent of summer monsoon
Came
and went by soon,
While
I was away…
Now
my eyes are tired and teary,
Jaded
by my lackluster abode.
But, blind they were
in their youth
And my little garden….
It is the same no
more
Because I was away…
