Contemplation.... Poem by Kaila George

She sat on the edge of the fence

Contemplating life

She could see the possibilities of what may be

If she choose to take that path

Her thoughts mingled with the past and new

Her laughter caught in the wind

As she realized in a mixed up world

That nobody really gave a damn

She often tried to reach out and touch

A soul....a broken heart

But they never really noticed

The waif sitting on the fence

She has cried a million tears of pain

She has laughed a million times

Only to find herself being ignored by the passing crowd of time

She holds her head up high in thought

For all to see her defy the unjust and decadent winds

Be glad that I am still around to collect your dreams and whims

She smiles to herself and is satisfied

With her mingled thoughts and dreams

Perhaps one day when she no longer cares

People will notice the gap in the fence
