UPON THE HILL

The roses smell so sweetly

Behind the picket fence,

The grass is rich and green

It gives off a fresh cut scent.

The lilacs are in full bloom

The veranda has been swept,

One glance the eye can see

How well the garden has been kept.

The shadow in the window

Shows an old, but gentle soul,

I heard she took up residence

Not too long ago.

No one seems to know

How she keeps her home alive,

There is never any outside help

And no visitors stop by.

She enjoys her solitude

Each and every day,

She is sometimes seen at midnight

I hear the neighbours say.

As they watch her in the moonlight

They say it gives them chills,

For she is intently speaking

To someone upon the hill.

I hear she turns quite beautiful

When the moon shines down so bright,

To me there isn’t any doubt

To whom she speaks at night.

I’m told she’s still in good health

Violets bloom on her window sill,

And I think she owes it all

To her friend upon the hill

    Rather mysterious and leaves a lot to the imagination. The story drags one in quickly and holds them to the end, then leaves them hanging, left to their imaginations. Well done.
