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
