Evie Ivy | Delivering Green

Delivering Green


No monster chase,
green fills me with breath,
the color of okay to move.

They say in another planet
there might be black grass,
but here we walk on green,
the color of new.

Some will say they don’t look
good in green.
But there are different shades,
wrap yourself in summer.

Green, the color of everywhere,
and of a million smiles.
The verdant truths I love.

I get the most breath,
walking on green,
the color of now.
