Green
 

Green
My love
Growing slowly in the sun
It requires nurture
It requires patience

In the rich earth a sprout has blossomed
A bubble of calm in this busy world
Taking in every solitary moment
Its roots are deep and vast

Walls of ice cold steel
Built to protect the heart
It takes hold
It latches on
It never lets go
Despite adversity

When winter arrives and the days turn gray
And the earth turns cold
When all others wither away
I remain to grow another day

It envelops you
Knows you
Feels you
And if you let me
Support you

Some stories are meant to be forgotten
Scars turn black and blue
Frightening as it may be
Let me be there for you

I have many branches
Many faces
Have undergone many changes
Underneath it all, one thing remains the same
I have a heart with so much to give
Love I can barely contain

Will you be like a sun for me?
Shine your warmth
Share our light
So we can build
A house of leaves
