Shades of Green

shades of green.jpg

The color of garbage bags.

The wrapper on a Poland spring water bottle.

Messages App on Apple products.

The rejected section of a strawberry.

When you feel the grass on your bare feet.

Chalkboards.

Maps. Discovery.

To mean go.

The color you turn when you are about to steal Christmas.

A statement.

The way you look when you’re about to faint.

Towering trees.

New beginnings.

The glory of Ireland and Iceland

The irony of Greenland.

The other side of the grass, where everything is better.

Envy

Money.

Purity

Greed; Money’s bitter ex-girlfriend who needs to learn how to let go.

The perception of your veins in your body that keeps you human.

An act of disgust that makes you want to vomit…

Usually betrayal.

The feeling you get when you listen to Bob Marley.

To feel the earth.

And the Earth,

To feel alive

Feel whole and new again.

When you find the sudden ability to relinquish.
