A Rush of Green

 I thought that I could never trade my blue for green

That the ripple of the sea could never be

surpassed by the rustle of the leaves

But what I didn't realise

Is that you can bathe in the forest 

Like you can bathe in the ocean,

That a rush of green can be as soothing 

As the rush of blue waves,

That you can be cleansed and protected by 

The branches embrace,

Warm and wise, nurturing and strong

Hovering over in earnest generosity,

Just as you can be comforted by the 

vastness of the brilliant blue ocean...

You can be immersed in the sea of grass,

In the endless stretching of fields and hills,

As wide and as wavering as the expansive 

blue ocean, rippling endlessly with infinite

beauty
