The Grass Is Green

come to where
the grass is green
and each blade
we have stood in between
to kiss lips
now wet with dew
the world has changed
started new with you
gone are the days
of winters freeze
ice that was solid
now melts with ease
the heart awakes
with a single drop
intense warmth applied
it cannot stop
green is the color
of how new grass grows
when the heart pumps
sap freely flows
life is where death
was thought to have been seen
when you come to where
the grass is green

I love this, it flows with life and a sense of understanding that greener grasses really are there, waiting for us.

YAY!!! Yes, in the search for greener pastures in life, they are always around us and we are destined to find our place in the sun of the emerald meadows of life! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
