My Refuge of Green

“evergreens huddle around my dark sorrows
quieting anxious tines of ravaging nerves
whispering their draught of greener spice
I breathe spellbound in a wilderness temple”

spread upon squawks of yellow flaming fury
and soft cooler heads of a kind flowing river
blue will forever remain my favorite color”

beneath her ginger yarns of dawn
have you crystal courage to hear
the harmonies of her sacred song”

in these liquid labyrinths
of finely carved nature”

spread of my own emotional desertion
stands an oft-ignored and lonely tree”

diffusing wilder colors…”

and drink from the ladle
of his deep cold sating well
we choose a strenuous path”
