Love Is Evergreen

United Colours: Green
Sponsor: Silent One

Escape with me into tranquility, my sweet, 
relax with me inside your vitality and growth.
Lead me into your emerald world,
full of balance and harmony.
Of all the seas I've sailed, your chartreuse
island seems to be the most romantic destination.
The seaweed may create difficult tides,
but our perseverance out shines resistance.
For my yellow has mixed with your blue,
and our love created natural green, 
full of prosperity and abundance.
Our wall built from olive branches,
proceeds to block out anything
that would get in the way of our wealth.
Our four leaf shamrock, I hold in my 
locket, wearing it while I travel this
journey with you. Heal me with your moss, 
a stable piece of nature laid out for our fertility.
Oh, lift me to the top of our snow capped pine trees. 
All things green...has saved our souls...

Different Shades of Green:

7. Fertility  8. Pine
