A Garden Left Untended


I am the seed that never grew,

A flower lost in morning dew.

In fields of love, I stood apart,

A quiet stem, a silent heart.

 

The soil was there, but cold and dry,

No hands to lift me toward the sky.

I reached for warmth, for light, for

care,

But found the emptiness of air.

 

A garden left untended long,

Where weeds grew wild, roots went

wrong.

No voice to guide me, no sun to see,

A child apart, untaught to be.

 

Now as a tree, my limbs are bent,

By winds of years in discontent.

I sway alone, a brittle thing,

Afraid of what the storms might bring.

 

But still I dream of gentle rain,

Of tender hands to ease the strain-

a garden's hope, though late it

seems,

To sprout again, to trust in dreams.

 

The buds of hope being to bloom,

A tender promise through the

gloom.

What once was lost, I now reclaim-

A garden grown in my own name.
