_Green_

Sometimes light filters through them
 And they are gold — Not the brilliance of 
mustard fields But a pale sleepy glow As though they are frightened By their own
iridescence. Sometimes, they are just green Greener than the eyes of the ocean And
I gaze into them Wondering if they gaze back at me. And sometimes, the colours collide
Time itself coagulates; And I look at that moment Thinking of its effervescence 
I look at that moment I feel the emerald’s transience I look at that moment And 
know that moment is life.
