Is it really greener on the other side
Too much to lose, nowhere to hide
Reaching within to find the way
It is there the answers will come to pray

Looking both ways to cross the street
Not noticing the trolley I am about to meet
The screams I hear seem so far away
My screams, My fear, echoing the day

Traveling back to forge ahead
Laughter of images forgotten not dead
I stop and wonder if it is true what is said
Is it really greener on the other side

Hi Brian
nice to see another post from you...
I like this poem...a little on the cryptic side
which is cool and great rhyme flow...
I really like the thoughts behind the last verse.
take care, jm

baby dont you work so hard
for this prize you've found,
it will all be gone-when you turn around,
cause nothing lasts forever anyway.

It's not greener on the other side. You have to water this side to make it green yourself!!
