Veridian waves wash over me
calm, healing currents
streaming over hot
black asphalt of my mind
racing in all directions
Emerald turf, tides rise up
surging, gushing from
open, uninhabited woodland lots
and neighborhood lawns
I smile totally in awe -
the thousand shades
of medicinal green elixirs
Nature concocts for us:
soothing jade, invigorating pine,
dazzling emerald, gentle fern,
happy go lucky shamrock, pensive moss
blessed, peaceful olive branches
repair, restore, revive
our flagging spirits
O Devi we take refuge in Your
alcoves of Green Goodness
and "lie down in Green pastures"
on your Divine lap
