the blue muse

Green is innocence, patina, verdant, fresh.

Green is spring and summer, renewal and leaf.

Green is the color of a hummingbird’s soul.

Green is goodness and grass, and bells of Ireland.

Green is lime and pistachio, celery and olive.

Green is parrot and ivy,  earth, forest and fern.

Green is goddess and emerald, mint mocha delight.

Green is envy and verdigris, inexperience and growth.

Green is holly and pine, and June’s favorite song.

Green is sage and willow, a soft bed of moss.

Green is peridot promise, jade jewels and glass.

Green is nurture and nature, the mother of kindness.

Green is pond and polliwog, lizard and frog.

Green is sanctuary, promise, life.
