Challenge of the Week CXIV
It's All About the Green. You can write about anything you want, but the color green must appear somewhere in your writing, either in passing, or as a theme. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
A Garden Out There
I knew not the sound of laughter
Knew not from the pain
Wondered when the sun would shine
But prayed that it would rain
I saw the clouds move that day
Marching along the lines
Breathing in the flowers
Forgotten across the times
But they said there were no flowers
It was only in my mind
No patch of green in my garden
Nothing there to find
Some said that I was dreaming
Some only called me dumb
Said that being stuck all day
Made my thinking numb
I told them it was green before
And I say that it’s still green
There’s still a garden out there
I’m not living in a dream
Close your eyes gently they say
And pray for the rains
To come water your garden
While you slip away from the pain
