Green InspirationA Poem by Maryam MottahedehGreen Inspiration I cannot get enough of green Money is good But the trees are even better Money can buy But my eyes cannot wait To feast on nature’s lusciousness
The color of hope, growth That of eternity At least of that promise
Let us not wallow in the limited corner of our sadness So long as we have a window To glance out at the lush green of eloquence Against the backdrop of vastness in blue Confusion, in gray Stormy and true
I ask myself to move along to a new season Learning from the patience of trees And the gesture of their branches Hanging out in generosity Even wiser Let’s not allow society’s ignorance cut off our limbs Let us rise up as a society And cut of the limbs of hypocrisy In the cult of toxic governments, religions, corporations
There is so much to do Life continues without a care Awaiting for none Yet is at our door And in every step © 2013 Maryam Mottahedeh |
