Green Grass
An invisible being
You were
Destiny entrenched
Those eyes, that nose
Even your heart beat.
That little zygote
Evolved at will.
You think, even faintly
You had a say?

Thrown into oblivion
Hankering for bliss
Trekking ahead
Vision blurred
By the sparkles
Of neighbor’s bounty
Losing track
Ticking away
From your roots

Approaching the rear
You discern
Every moment,
Inevitable!
Is the grass green on the other side?
Who cares!
Life fades
Just like it bloomed.
