Where the Green Grass Grows

Stretched along the silent winter garden thrives a cold, dark dirt blanketed in olive decaying leaves. Beneath the food of natural fertilizers, life emerges from its long hushed sleep in sprouts of pale yellowed seafoam tender tiny greenery with shoots of seaweed blue tinged daffodills that push aside the hued lime grass carpeting. The faded colors lost in the long white winter, rises, in emerald peekings of a snowdrop wrapped in hazel eyed hues, lush colors bleed into the awaiting shamrock meadow below, escaping the melting and discolored snow. Life springs forward to welcome the new season. along the roof moss grows freely along the edge in pickled shades thriving and living as a neon florescence in the sun and the world is once again, reborn to pistachio and clover imagery lying where the green grass grows again.
