Sea of Green
May is magical,
the garden is an ocean of color climb
every shade of green conceived
circled round the pathways of time,
long ago perceived;
to the right
dark juniper and pine, short and tall,
pickled sage and moss grow low,
seaweed, basil, pear staged for large and small
stepping stones on shamrock rows;
to the back and left
a dip of lime and emerald fern
that opens wide onto another path
clustered together in sunlit berns
bud and flower fading fast;
and in the silky shadowed hues
pistachio, seafoam and mint rise
with olive asparagus forest dues
inspiration and scent for the ear and eyes,
spring greens and all of nature's clues.
