Welcome To Karma! Magazine

There are people laughing in the garden

Just below my window,

It is a balmy summers evening

And I can’t sleep

And I wonder what they’re laughing about,

If it is really that funny

 

There’s a barbecue going

The smell catches on a breeze and seeps in through the cracks,

I ache for a time that is long gone

I wonder what they’re cooking

 

I wonder if they’ll giggle about this later, on their way home

I wonder if they’re sad at all

If they know each other well,

I wonder if they have all that they hoped for

And I hope that they do

 

I wonder if they wonder

About the people behind the windows up above,

I wonder what they think about as they go to sleep
