The grass is greener?

So green and lush,

So tall and round,

What lies over you?

From the other side I hear a sound,

What is it?

I climb higher up trying to see the other side,

I increase the distance of my stride!

I reach the top, and look down,

Ugh it is so brown and desolate,

The sound I heard, a car’s backfire.

Nonetheless I am grateful for,

Although bare on this side,

A new traveler heading opposite of me,

Will be inspired by the beauty,

Of this mysterious hill.
