Enigma Weekend Edition: Poetry by Maggie Johnson
"Watch"
by Maggie Johnson
Watch,
As the years
go by,
Fast but
quiet,
Six months
to years,
Time slips
away,
torn from
innocent fingers,
watch.
Watch,
As they grow
from seeds
To the
powerful trees that protect
Us from
thunderous winds,
To the
breathtaking flowers
that
captivate any passerby,
watch.
Watch,
As
destruction sweeps the land,
But when
help is sought after,
Heads turn
the opposite way,
to look at
the next interesting event,
Neighbors
left to survive alone,
watch.
