The Green Within Green . . .



LEAVES. . . and leaf . . . green within green
The appearing of speech in many similar places

Jade and juniper . . . sage and chartreuse
Viridian, mint . . . lime, olive, and emerald
Oak, beech and pine, fir, aspen and willow
Across ragged hillsides through brooks in valleys
Lofty tomes . . . books in veined papers

Life . . . and inner life . . . living within living
The astonishing message carried in all things

The pattern . . . the silver web revealing life
So, clear and plain . . . so, filled . . .
Waiting to be unravelled and known . . .
If any, were even
Half-way looking however fleetingly

It was the abundance of ideas in that
Eclectic mix of green
Deriving hints
From a broad diverse scoop of changing resources:
All living things were books

Beneath were new concepts, sparks in new ideas
Amaranthine knowledge satisfying the searching mind

Light . . . and inner light . . . dream within dream
The substance similar but all different and same

Expanding insight inside the first inner room
The door into the second was hid
No space to see the hint of a crack in the door
Opening up a new world . . . the second

If it was brilliant knowledge it went no further
To brighten, bring alive, uncover the central thing
That . . . turned . . . turned base metal into gold

Still the vague search for what seemed to be missing
It was still missing
