She sat there
Silent.
With book in hand, she embraced the summer air.
The sounds of children playing and birds singing
All, in sweet harmony.
She looked up
Took a deep breath
Sigh.
The ice- cream man came along
Creamy delights – red, white, yellow, brown
Still as a statue, deep in thought.
She didn’t look up.
She turns the page.
A tear trickles down her cheek.
A sole tear, teetering at her chin
Plop, it falls.
She gets up
Walks away
Leaving the book on the bench.
