Green Dreams Do I See

As I fall somnolent in the sage stalks I bend my eyes to adore seafoam skies An epiphany of emerald tranquility transcends my mended mind behind time Ticking clicks of viridian sticks launch luscious thoughts adrift forest floors More green galore than ever before my eyes graze the jade stage for even more Basil blades slice at the soil like bamboo shoots rooted in moss masked stone Seaweed strands wrapped up on asparagus sand like wet ropes of moist mesh Juniper trees with mint leaves beam beneath warm waves of summer shine Lime lily-pads aloft crocodile creeks carry croaking legs along shamrock streams Parakeet feathers with chartreuse beaks rest weary wings on bent olive branches This world of wonderment cradles my body in certain camouflage wildly unseen To a vision of verdant dreams seen by my eyes before the rush of a restful slumber March 1, 2016
