The Serenity of Green
The color green in nature paints with hues and tints
grand images of growth, renewal, and rebirth.
Green soothes the soul, reduces strain of stress and strife;
we feel serenity through green from Mother Earth.
It sets up harmony between the heart and mind,
surrounds us with its gentle blended color hue...
a magic mix of hopefulness from yellow's warmth,
with calm, inspiring cool light of tranquil blue.
The peace of green abides in velvet smooth green lawns,
the fluttering new leaves of Springtime’s budding trees,
and tumbling flow of vines that drape the fence and rail,
along with willow branches flying in the breeze.
Our Spring awakes and spreads her wondrous cloak for us
to calm and soothe our souls whatever be the scene;
beneath the yellow Sun embraced by Earth’s blue sky,
their blended colors share the miracle of green.
