Green

Through the snow I saw one glimpse of green
Through the flakes, grass rarely uncovered, peeks past
Oh I miss you green!  Like lovers torn apart at summers end.
This glimpse like a letter from her, reminding return

Green grows, transforms lively , revives me
Breathes to let us breathe 
Resuscitates and invigorates 
Encourages blossoms, birds singing return

Green is the color of her beautiful eyes
Stunning me, stopping me
It’s also the envy consuming 
On he who which those green eyes are fixed

Green is the house I knew as a child
Running through the green fields laughing
Carelessly lounging under shade tree’s green leaves
Reading comics (Green Lantern) and such…

The shades and hues vary, so many
But reminded of life by each and every
No color more valued than one denied
Urgently waiting her sweet return
The glimpse through this snow reminds me…
How happy I feel when surrounded by green.

Ain't it the truth my friend! live in Florida now where green is at a minimum. However, in my home country there are so many shades we need a new dictionary! Well done!! Best wishes, Keith
