Green

Burgeoning with life

Leaves blossoming potent fresh

Forest eyes behold

The sage of time is fading
Glistening malachite, your eyes sparkle
Age has not diminished serenity as we
Walk through scented pine and jade
Peacock viridian leaves polka dot
The azure sky blinking sunlight through
Tips of timber wood and spruce
Can’t contain their equal needs to reach
Heavenward where emerald light falls down
Below on us who slosh through moss
From last nights forest rain
Willows do not weep here as
Chartreuse needles dance in billowy
Breezes brush cheeks where hands, lips
Time have gentle touched
In the gloaming.
Yearly circle burgeoning.

Darkling petal falls
We rise sprouting sunlit fresh
Cracked earth resurrect
