    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
                                                           - Dylan Thomas
the light green grasses
emerging with Springtime
then deeper greening into Summertime
 
the plethora of plant-lives
growing from Sunlight,
from warm soil and air,
moisture and kindness
 
forests of evergreen and pine,
and leaf-bearing trees,
tropical green birds
 
heart chakras
glowing pulsating green
like summer grass
yet brighter
like emerald,
yet brighter
like emerald on fire
 
green moss,
ferns and vines and lime,
peridot and jade and waters
 
ALL the plants and leaves
      so many greens
 
             green
before money was invented
and lettuces, broccoli, asparagus,
brussels sprouts, cabbage, parsley,
mint and all their kin
were the only currency
