Green Vision
In dream I saw a shooting star.
It scorched a purple crusted sky
Between the moon and rising sun
Where an ambitious wish could fly.
Pale plunging tail to distant views
An auspicious sombre trail.
Inviting hope for seeking souls
Hinting solemn quests,
Yet to fail.
Adjoining was a moody sea
Spacious waves, so synchronised
Pounamu tinged in stirring sand
Tainted truths, in sophisticated lies.
On land I see opposing peaks
Each splitting views of common ground
Defending sight from unseen flanks
Staunch guardians rising to confound.
Next soaring albino kereru
Flying in swirling koru paths
A karearea strikes one down
Leaving repugnant aftermath.
Suddenly the sun is blacked
In silent roar
Concrete jungles on the rise
Foundations built on measured thought
In new clothes
Green emperors look surprised.
