When Green Becomes Tomatoes
Dreams are sown in the garden,
Time's whispers, gently blown.
Emerald youths, sun's embrace,
Dance to season's grace.
Leaves transform, green to red,
Summer's song, gracefully spread.
Tomatoes blush, balmy air,
Painter's stroke, touch so rare.
Beneath the sky's azure dome,
Verdant cradle, they find home.
Green to crimson, journey told,
Language of hues, bold and old.
Life's symphony, round spheres,
Echo sunsets, mirrors clear.
Green to tomatoes, gentle sway,
World of colors, nature's ballet.
