Love is Green

On Valentines' past,
I've written about the love affair between the Earth and the Moon,
and between Flowers and Bees.

There is no greater love affair than within
nature itself because it asks for nothing in return.

In nature, it seems as though 'one' loves itself,
thrives, then another grows off this love
and in turn, thrives too.
It gives off love, and homeostasis is born.

If the 'green' of the Earth gets it, can we follow suit?
I believe so.

What does the color green look like in love to you?
It's not a traditional color associated with love,
but certainly it's not green with envy,
and maybe it isn't even green at all.

Certainly it can exist between two people,

but I believe the color green reminds us that love just IS.

It's the essence that is one being, one thing,

one flower,

It's the light left behind by the essence that no longer lives,

 it's in the memory of a dog who knew not much other than how to love,

it's in the wings around us,
waiting for those of us who don't yet know
what green looks like to them…

Maybe it's on top of a boo-boo,

Or inside the soul…

and it spreads out as far as the heart can feel it

Love is your perception of what it feels like to
give it and to receive it.
It is patient,
forgiving,
unselfish.

"Even after all this time,
the Sun never says to the Earth,
'You owe me.'
Look what happens with a Love like that,
it lights the whole sky."

What color is your love?
