The Color of Life - Green Contest

New life springs from loves palette, 
          natures evolving partner, casting
          youth with its brush.  Life's lushness
          exuded from its hue, tinting imagination
          with its fanciful evolution, bringing animation
          into being.  Green, the color of motion
          with respect to time, the blood of hope,
          its essence cherished, its value priceless.
          Green, a perception of dimensions to be,
          not lost to age or ravaged by complaint.
          Green, the ultimate invitation to live, to 
          be as great as intentions are meant to know.
          Green, eternal to its nature, reaching for 
          all that we aspire to become...The Color of Life.
