Green

Green,
dedicated to everyone with green eyes

Green is the vine that wraps round the tree
Green is the air beneath the canopy
Green is the plains of running grassland
Green is the moss upon ruins of man

Green is the distant parrot that mocks
Green is the serpent found in the rocks
Green is the gnome and lithe faerie
Green is young Puck, dancing merrily

Green is the crown set with emperor’s jade
Green is the emerald for empress made
Green is the fruit when not yet done
Green are the boughs when spring has come

Green are the lights that dance in the north
Green is the world when the new life comes forth
Green are your eyes, alive with energy
Brimming with laughter, hope, and vitality.
