a patch of green

come on baby blue
shake up your tired eyes
the world is waiting for you
may all your dreaming fill the empty sky

but if it makes you happy
keep on clapping
just remember i'll be by your side
and if you only go, it's gonna pass you by

there is a patch of green in my backyard. it suddenly appeared over a week or two, with the warm breezes and the dusty rain telling me it's spring. there are the large hands of the potato leaves, the grasses waving their arms towards the sky, and the very first flower of spring, a little yellow thing, daring to stand out against the sea of greenness.

we are all waiting. the end is coming. i am excited and scared. it'll be alright, i tell myself. just look at the patch of green. they are oblivious to what is happening to me. they only grow, as is in their nature, and everything else is not their fault.
