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 . . . _____________________________ May 18, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/shades of green Copyright Protected, ID 16-1109-228-0 All Rights Reserved.
