The Colors Green

The colors so green
Drifting high in the trees
Are like none that I’ve seen
In the warm summer breeze

Blinders for the eyes
Casting out your sun
Shadows on the lines
Over matters left undone

A heart that lies broken
For the spirit left aching
All the words that we’ve spoken
Fade like dreams as we waken

The colors of green
A mixture in the meadows
From a black and white dream
To the blues and the yellows

Four leaves to the clover
The gift you are receiving
Is it luck that runneth over,
Or the truth that is believing?

Verdant colors that you nurture
Petals soft and evergreen
The kaleidoscope of future
A touch of nature unforeseen
