In the garden where happiness plays <br />I am only a shadow out of phase <br />I stand back and watch life unfold <br />As in the darkness my heart grows cold, <br />Cursed to watch beauty blossom in loving rays <br />Veiled in void night viewing endless days <br />No warmth from that brilliant, bright light <br />Penetrates the amour of this empty blight, <br />Nor am I touched by the joyful breeze <br />Which whispers laughter and shouts mirthful glees <br />And passes through flower beds of hopeful blooms <br />Spreading softly upward blissful perfumes, <br />Am I hear alone on this empty plane <br />Can there be another in this domain.<br /><br />Colm Hayes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-garden-where-happiness-plays/
