Inches above the loose earth
You stand alone, stooping a bit,
Wearing a smile of modesty, not mirth
That’s to your demeanor a perfect fit.
The green shrubs around you
Display a semblance of cheerfulness.
The pink petals though freshened by the dew,
To my eyes cannot hide their tearfulness.
The piece of half brick that lies near around,
Is symbolic of life’s hard encounters;
While the other half of life may often be found
As solitary and serene like the way side flowers.
