Nature's Green

There is green
and there is every green
All of them at once

The blade of grass, underside and under sun
the leaf of a tree, flashing and playing in the breeze
and the leaves of a bush, every one of them its own green.

Unripe berries
The fronds of a fern
undergrowth and weed.

Green on green on evergreen.

Look for eternity and she will find a way to show you more green.
