birds chirping through this maze of a day

sunshine searching for dew drops to evaporate

sounds that fill spaces left vacant by silent noise

hands that labour till they fall by the side tired

lives that are spent yet needed to be restored

wheels of time fly till they reach farthest skies

scarecrow they erected has familiar face

winds that blew cold turning warmer by each passing day

grass this side and beyond the fence turns greener

flowers that shone in her hair fragrant as ever

rose she carried sits silently in her drawer

with crimson lips it repeats unsaid utterances.
