What Color is Green?

On the meadow there
Are many shades

Grass flowers leaves

Trees and shrubs
On top and along side
Granite walls

Each uniquely green

Lichen and moss alive
On towering bark and
Fallen stones

Sun — shines on oak trees
Illuminates and adds sparkle to leaves
Spring rain brings
Green anew

Shadow and light
Change the hue

Countless shades

What color is green?

Green is the color of life
