Green And White Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

imagine the greenest place
and you'll go there
every time you close your eyes

and you will feel so cooled
by the green winds
and the cherry lime surprise

and wade in the green water

and sunbeams through the trees
will whisper emeralds, emeralds.
you will drink in green

green Time
and be quenched and breathe, breathe
green so deeply until you are clearly filled

with the sparkliness of it all,
the April facets
and to yourself you will hum

a festive green song
at the behest of angels
that wlll cause everything sweetly, serenely

to break into small white flowers
