Sea of Green

May is magical,
 the garden is an ocean of color climb
 every shade of green conceived
 circled round the pathways of time, 
 long ago perceived;

to the right
 dark juniper and pine, short and tall,
 pickled sage and moss grow low,
 seaweed, basil, pear staged for large and small
 stepping stones on shamrock rows;

to the back and left
 a dip of lime and emerald fern
 that opens wide onto another path
 clustered together in sunlit berns
 bud and flower fading fast;

and in the silky shadowed hues
 pistachio, seafoam and mint rise
 with olive asparagus forest dues 
 inspiration and scent for the ear and eyes,
 spring greens and all of nature's clues.
