Green Friends

By Simran

O green friends, hovering across my head, shadowing my dreams from the cold

sunlight, can i carry this kindness to my

next stranger? Oh, will you forgive me, if they are cruel on my tiny heart?

O green friends, standing in mirror warmth of the winter, can i carry your strength in front of my love? How will i water you

with my tears if i fail to love?

O green friends, donating beauty in God's bloodstream, will God ever take my name if I kneel in front of your flowers? Why do i have to pluck every thing first and then call

put it on myself, like my heart?

O green friends, unwanted in autumn like people falling for each other, you are the hopeless one. How will I not be like you? Until there's someone more caring for you, I'll stay with green leaves.
