Evergreen

Ever refreshing to my being As the dew that fell on Hermon Bringing new life to the seared psyche of this particular earthly vermin Designed to be made in your image I regularly miss the mark Treating this momentous opportunity as little more than a lark What is your favorite color? It seems it might be green. All encompassing springing to life In scene after scene after scene I have wasted what you graciously offered I see this clearly now with aged eyes To know you and to love you an unfolding Eternal surprise Caught up in the minutia of being I allowed myself to lose sight With the time that remains me take these scales From my eyes relieve me please of this plight Evergreen life giving you have always been and always you will be Bring life anew to these dried bones to rejoice for all seeing to see Thank you for allowing this audience with you YOU who made all things Strike each day my hearts chord undampered by me fully ring
