Where the Grass Was Greener

I saw that superficial heaven. The streets were lined with diamonds and glitter rained from the sky. The sun shined a bright rose gold and the sky a great blue. There were flakes of gold hanging from the trees and everything glowed. I could see the stars in the distance made of crystal. The moon made of something white and shining. The wind felt like silk from a king's bed on my skin. The grass was littered with glitter and golden flakes. So much so that it glowed under the gold sun. As I walked down the sidewalk I could hear a soft melody growing louder with each step. It was all so beautiful. It really was. But then I looked across the fence and saw another heaven. The street was lined with flowers. Sun rays danced across the green field. The sky was just as blue as my current heaven but there was something greater about it. And then I realized that the glitz and glamour of the diamonds and rose gold did not hinder it's intensity. I saw different shades of yellow and red leaves hanging from the trees and realized just how tall the trees were. The stars twinkled just a little but that was ok because the simplicity of it made it that much more beautiful to me. The grass was green. Very green and soft. That's when I realized I had walked into this heaven but didn't remember climbing the fence. I looked down and realized I was barefoot. I was no longer wearing red bottomed heels. And it felt good. I took off running across the field and the wind rushed past me. There was something about this wind that felt cooler on my skin. Made me feel free and refreshed. I noticed that I did not hear the crunch of the grass under my feet. Only my laughter.
