The Greener Grass

and why it’s a facade

The greener grass is an illusion. Much better to appreciate your patch. (Image on Canva)

From where you stand,
the grass looks plush
under feet un-calloused

From where you sit,
the sky looks bluer
above brows un-furrowed

But the Observer
morphs the objects —
a Monet painting for one

The soul’s vision
fractured from
the invisible yardstick
(weighing more than
mere flesh and bone)

The optics shift
illusions die,
floodlights open,
upon reflection

Only then do we see
the perfect imperfections
there all along
in all of us
