The Green Goddess

In the gentle haze of emerald leaves
Is balm for minds wrestling with unease

With a sweet green goddess solace found
In the garden where anxiety is unbound

She whispers to an overanxious soul
Dancing to a peaceful melody to console

Elevating my spirits to a celestial flight
Consternation disappears into the night

When panic's fierce storm comes near 
The green goddess is a repellent of fear

A guardian peering out from a viridescent cloud 
Providing respite from an overzealous crowd 

Let the embers glow in a serene embrace
In the garden of green anxiety finds its grace

A sanctuary with a heightened sense of calm
The power to reactivate these hues in my palm
