::: A Garden of Stone :::

I stand here on a garden of stone.
A blade of grass stands beside me.

I look up at the mountains of stone.
A seagull’s lost in search of water.

I turn to the right, and to my delight.
People coming and going.

I turn to the left, and it’s almost in jest.
A man tips his hat to a lady.

I look down at my garden of stone.
There are two blades of grass besides me.

I look up at my mountains of stone.
The seagull has found a pond.

I look to my right, and to my delight.
People are laughing, all it right.

I look to my left, and it’s almost a jest.
The lady tips her hat to the man in black.
