There were days

Flowers on the Windowsill, Carl Larsson (1900)

There were days she could not get herself to look beyond the windowsill. Weeks and months have passed, she found no reason to reach out. Save for the rays of sunlight, she preferred to wall herself in. To build her world, she cultivated plants and flowers from abandoned lots. Took items people decided to throw away. She thinks, there must be a place for all those left behind. Still the quiet care despite the refuse of neglect.
