Backing track from the wonderfully free pixabay site, this song is called Cave of Enlightenment by Light Music. Dripping wet earthy poem.
When the rain falls
River songs fill the air
Soak here with me
In soft green springs
Pools of deep shadowy alpine
Rippling lime
Spreading to emerald
Oceans opening to the sun
Turning into jewels
Perhaps I love the moss most of all
The smokey coolness, translucent white stems
Warm hearted singing green, nutty and earthy
I love the sensible green of an oak leaf
Balanced, dependable, familiar
And the way a fern has
A darker
A wet primordial mystery
Quite in contrast to the cyclic garden shades
Getting used to one season, one story
Wondering when you’ll change
I am cool waters that birthed forth jade
Almost every tone possible
Mineral cities on the horizon
Flashy malachite and turquoise hallways
Nothing pleases me more than taking my time
Turning a whole field over to tawny brown
And then back again after the spring rains
Tempering your eagerness with much needed rest
Green is every shade of rest.
And lends itself to all potential
Of dreams and of the future
From the immortal evergreens
To the blink and you’ll miss them fiddleheads
Return to me
Green-hearted wanderer
You are home, even if apart
I can find you, get closer still
As I close my eyes
I’ll take my time
Come to me
Green-hearted lover
I am the earth.
