Shades of Green

I find myself in a lush forest
dripping wet with steamy sultry life, and
I am one with nature and with the green drifting water . . . 
oh, the soft moss and the wet lime ferns caress me
and I float in tranquility where beneath me reeds are swaying
in the many hues of green
like juniper, sage, olive and pine . . . 
see the emerald of a little frog-   the brown of a crocodile
the yellow little fish that kiss my toes
  that lovely red flower-  careful of the orange snake slithering
     a fluttering purple butterfly-   a blue bird singing sweetly
       and twining vines meandering in the dripping foliage . . . 
         my sage eyes whisper-   come fall into the lush with me
I will take you to a world of utter peace
where all shades of green mingle and entwine
               but beware, for I am not of this world anymore . . .
