FROM THE BALCONY

FROM THE BALCONY

I see the trees standing in the sky,

The cars go by as I watch from high.

Walking people going here and there,

Sometimes I wonder if they’re happy or in pain.

Do I really care when from the balcony I stare,

Without a name, to me, they are not there.

The wind I feel as I am looking everywhere,

The sky is hazy, a quiet moment is where I am.

From inside I watch through the window,

The balcony is there, quietly I don’t really care what is out there.

  1. There’s a poem from Robert Frost called “The Trees,” where he seems to compare trees to human beings. When I see an image of a tree in a poem, I always think of him.
