Green

Natures first green is gold
The hardest hue to hold

Such beautiful lines

Today I saw or felt some of it
Sitting st the park watching the trees across the water
So many shades of green differing minutely and yet visibly
So many shades if  green for which we have no names
Other than dark green and light green .
Maybe olive green and yellow green
But these colours compartliase and the trees are in the hundreds of shades in between

Such subtleties in nature that words can only fail  and accept that failure graciously
We bow down before you

A copse of trees at early dawn
Lining the river bank
Highlight the infinite subtleties
Of Nature's green.
Light and dark,
Lemon and olive,
Words can only go so far.
The colours I see lie
in between
