Thoughts In The Grass

Verses written

Line by line

Following rhythm, tempo, and time

Melodies ringing

Singing prose

Catching light on the petal of a rose

Bright red pooling

Outlining the physical

Black shadows casting

Sadness made lyrical

Grass is greener

When unkept and wild

Freedom is freer in the mind of a child

Ideas bounce

Lighter than rubber

But come to a stop

When it comes to each other

Having great expectations

When we water the seed

Then complain about the view

Because of our tree

So we cut it down and press it into paper

For books we write but don’t read until later
