In The Garden

Sitting here in the garden all alone

I hear birds chirp

The fountain flows

The wind blows

And the flowers smell sweet

Everything is calm and peaceful

 

But it\'s too quiet

 

It\'s giving me too much time 

To think about my life;

About my flaws

About my worries

About my pain

About everything negative

 

But I\'m surrounded by beauty

 

Pink Roses

Violet Irises

White Queen Anns Lace

Clear, pure water

Delicately carved rocks

A bright, shinning sun

 

Yet all I can think about are my problems

 

They are consuming me

Like a tornado devours

And destroys everything

In its path;

Only dust

And devastation remain

 

I can see the beauty in the garden

But not in my own life
