Green

photo of the sunlight filtering through the fronds of a fern tree

When you see the light
filter through layers of trees—
future is bright green.

Shiny

photo of the sun shining through the trees

Shining down on me,
tiny diamond in the sky
nestled among trees.

Good giants

Photo of a large tree and a wooden bench bathed in its canopy.

Casting great shadows,
giants loom over our heads—
trees, summer relief.

Modern

Photo of a cypress tree on a cliff, its side containing a lot less leaves than its top and back.

The modern mullet:
shorter sides, long backs, no tail;
cypress on a cliff.

Mountains

Photo of a mountain range in the distance and lush green fields in the foreground.

Untouched villages;
hopeful scenes in the distance—
those pale blue mountains.
