Green
Green
Green is grass.
Green is leaves.
Green is growing
under the sun
elbowing the earth,
pushing it aside
stretching, reaching
with open hands.
Green is calling you
to lie in the grass
under a firmament of leaves
and breathe.

This is beautiful, Liz! I really like ‘elbowing the earth’
I love the ending — perfect. I’ll be sorry when May 1 comes.
Love the glimpse of green today, Liz. Thank you. = )
This is a gorgeous piece of writing. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
“under a firmament of leaves”–just lovely.
