From Afar

Carter M. Flynn

There they are planted 

Alone but together 

Aware of my gaze 

For decades I stare

I'm no longer convinced it's a phase

Trees with fruit so ripe

Beyond that gate so high 

A height I can not climb 

The nectar must be so sweet 

I wish the trees were mine

They mock me from afar

Frustration makes me sick 

Oh I love them so

But their fruit I will never pick
