Girl Beneath the Tree


Venturing out I espied a young girl

Serenely cross legged beneath a tree,

Her hands in her lap, as if to unfurl;

Seeming lost in her prayer; life's mystery.


A picture so perfect on early sight

But alas coming close my spirit sank

My early assumption had not been right

She wasn't in prayer on the grassy bank


For there in her hand was a mobile phone.

Wandering past from my dream rudely woken

I realised that moment was mine alone

My pleasant illusion sadly broken.
