as I sat down on the park bench after a long and weary day I couldn't help noticing the once bustling park is now almost deserted
fragrance of the flowers filled the air home to various birds and the bees the young and the old a garden of heaven in the middle of chaos
fame and beauty cast a spell of doom once the most beautiful place on land turned into just another plot of land
Disillusioned by life outside the garden was my life helping me to forget the past safely nestled inside its beauty I slowly clawed my way back into life
now with the stench becoming unbearable and the park almost lifeless deserted by the birds and bees I slowly leave my place from what was once my home away home
walking in the meandering by-lanes of life far far away from the park I set about finding a new place to continue my quest for life once again
my search took me nowhere my search ended in despair everyday until one day with the sun almost left for the day I stumbled on to a deserted land
I stumbled on to a deserted land in the middle of nowhere a tiny shoot was peeking its way out in harsh conditions with the day almost over and the sun almost below the horizon a ray of hope shone down from the sky above
a meaningless life, I had been living a zombie like existence with no purpose with no aim
now when the day is almost over I now found a purpose for my existence I now set about building my secret garden my very own secret garden around this desert rose filled with all things beautiful with the fragrance of happiness filling the air once again!
