Gown of Green

Her gown of sprouting green, sleeves of new leaves Jade shade illuminates fresh summer rain Woven gossamer silk on turquoise trees Threaded through her mare's alabaster manes Planting gold hope along emerald lanes November mists persists in chartreuse dawn With aspirations to sage Avalon. 12/5/19
