Wooden Fence and a Bench

The wooden fence still breathes

Reminiscing the life as a tree

Severed from the roots, brutally

Still of use, barricading thoroughfares

Nature used against Nature, that’s human

Segregation gives a sense of ownership

Trust is erected as fenced reminders

Even the wooden bench allows one to rest

Individuals, surrounded by a stressful life

Sitting on the bench to contemplate busyness

Sometimes the mind does take a recess

Wandering across the wilderness

Being mindful and bringing down the fences

Creating an imaginary utopia

Rare moments of rest and occasional solace

Nature transformed into extreme opposites-

A fence and a bench- human ideas

Uprooted from reality, treasuring life’s artifacts

We have a history of being proud of our collectibles©
