Bright reds
Yellows and blues
What a beautiful garden
As I stand at my window
I look
I smell
I smile
What joy
Why not me?
Spring all around
My glacier home
Soft rose petals
Bright tulips rise high
With tangled roots
Painting of life
On every wall
Of my room
Children play
In the distance
Their joy touches the windows
Their smiles too far
To melt this frozen cage
Tears of ice
Too distant from it all
