When Green Becomes Tomatoes
In the garden's heart, where dreams are sown, A tale of time, in whispers, is gently blown. Where emerald youths in the sun's embrace, Dance to the rhythm of the season's grace. Amidst the leaves, a transformation's song, As green to red, they gracefully throng. Tomatoes blush, in summer's balmy air, A painter's stroke, with a touch so rare. Beneath the sky's vast, azure dome, In this verdant cradle, they find their home. From green to crimson, a journey told, In the language of hues, bold yet old. A symphony of life, in each round sphere, Echoes of sunsets, in their mirror appear. When green becomes tomatoes, in time's gentle sway, A world of colors, in nature's ballet.
