There is a perfect stillness to her quiet evenings
No one is driving on her roads, nobody is walking down her streets
People have deserted the beautiful splendour of her scenery
She is our City, quiet and isolated from her occupants
People used to play in her parks, fish in her waters and sit under her trees
Now she is left alone without anyone to observe and enjoy her
The Sun visits her from time to time to cheer her up and to help fill her with vibrancy
Her good friend the Rain, waters her plants and cleans her streets
Nature causes changes all around her
While her people seem to be standing still
Pausing their lives and holding their breaths
Even though she is focused on moving forward
Spring progresses, her flowers bloom, and her trees grow to shade
And with all her colours and scents, people start to notice
Her full offering of beauty, bounty and of course, her love
In hopes of inspiring them to live with vibrancy too
Love Renee
