Violated



VIOLATED

Privacy destroyed-
As the neighbor cut
down his Hedge.

We gloated over
The twenty year growth -
Our Hedge we claimed.

Oh how we mourned-
The loss of that
Which was not ours.

Dream of what...
Use to be-
Sick feeling in our gut.

Plan to Restore...
Our privacy, but how?
We feel Violated.

Twenty Four hours
Time passes, healed-
New Beauty revealed.

After the hedge came down, sitting at our dining room the next morning we realized seeing the trees, hills, sky in the distance was enjoyable also and our backyard did not seem so closed in.
Accept and find beauty in tomorrow, whatever life brings!
