Ode to the Green

Location

 

Thank you, my friend

For letting me go

To a place I feel safe

My sunlight, my escape

My crutch, my mistake

Thank you, my friend

For holding my mind

Magnificent epiphanies

Only solely inside

But what good is learning?

If it is only I who sees

One hundred nights under the stars

Letting me feel the trees

Thank you

For the days

Of my ignorant haze

Mind open yet trapped

Eyes red with that glaze

Thank you, old friend

For allowing me to see

I need only myself

For my mind to be free.
