Other Side of The Fence

Two sides of beauty,

Each with appeal,

One with a duty;

The other to heal,

Duty to prosper;

Healing the spoiled,

How often it’s lost,

Like a bird in the oil.

Rural allotments,

Flowers by the fence,

Best not forgotten

This past time of sense.

Do you see colour

Or black and white mess?

One over the other,

Choose neither at best!
