No longer living in the land of grass is greener
The sparkling emerald green on my side is just fine
No longer wishing for a moment that was never meant to be
The right now moments of this solitude are filling me up
With more than I can chew
No need to wait
Satisfied enough to settle into the easiness of these moments
Turn down the hope
And turn up the acceptance
Sucking on the moments of this fresh new day
Allowing my eyes to focus instead of zoom
Allow my ears to capture this perfect gentle tune
That what I am
As I stand today
Is exactly who I was meant to be
The limited original fantasies
Have melted in to me
Full
Happy
Thick
Free
Gazing around at the lushness of my grass
Allowing my fingers to brush up against it
As the soft prickles of the tips play against my cheek
Its okay
Everything is as it should be and it’s alright with me
I can take off my shoes
Let the coolness run between my toes
And smile
Because the gently prickly softness of the perfectly dazzling Emerald Green
Is suddenly
All
And exactly
What I need…
