The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone


Little girl playing outside.
The music is playing softly.
The pond is peacefully there.

The water is slightly moving.
The lonely flower stands. Undestructed.
All of a sudden the storm starts.

The girl in the tree laughing.
She stops laughing.
Thunder strikes at the tree.
The girl falls.

She gets to her feet.
Runs to her house.

The key doesn't fit.
The leaves are falling everywhere.
The thunder strikes again.
Then a scream.

*Next Day*
The little girl lying six feet under.
The storm slithered away.
The pond is peacefully there.
The water is slightly moving.

The lonely flower stands.
Undestructed.
