The greening of the grass

Ronald Tirino

Through the Fields of greening grass
Where seagulls calls are calling
Flowers blooming through fragrant breeze
the Seasons came with stillness
as though it never left
 
beyond form or the figure
within  shadows of a dream distilled
 
soft steps on the sands of time
traces of   footprints left behind
slowly melt away in the morning of the day
past  the memories of yesterday
left behind for today

    The poem "Through the Fields of greening grass" captures the essence of nature's beauty and the passage of time. The imagery of seagulls calling, flowers blooming in fragrant breezes, and the stillness of the changing seasons conveys a sense of tranquility and continuity in the natural world. The reference to soft steps on the sands of time and footprints slowly melting away symbolizes the transient nature of memories and experiences, highlighting the importance of living in the present moment while acknowledging the traces of the past that shape our journey. The poem beautifully intertwines the themes of nature, time, and introspection, inviting reflection on the interconnectedness of our experiences with the ever-changing world around us.
