Only Time Will Tell

It is so peculiar
to me
how much can change
in just so little time.
The grass was covered in snow
not so long ago to recall.
Then all of a sudden it turned green
and began to grow in the warmed air
nourished by the constant rain.
It seems just yesterday
the dandelions arrived
and took over the boulevard.
So that if you look at it just so
it's completely yellow;
as if to suggest
that if you were to follow it,
you'd be led away to Emerald City.
Perhaps over time
that boulevard
covered in dandelions now
will one day lead me
out of this town
and onto my own brick road
to some foreign Emerald city.
Only time will tell.
