It was in a dream before men.
The night was falling away.
The forrests were alert in their sleep.
A cold, moist breath seaped from the wind.
Fog arose.
Dew became a damp shroud.
The horizon swelled in shadow,
And shadow was gone.
The first ray hurtled from the line
To ignite the day
White mist became veridescent.
Wealth of tree.
Not in their bounteous hands
But from their bodies.
Now crumpled sheets stained
The color of man's iniquities.
Wealth of stone.
Prized for their rarity,
Desired for their impurity.
Not tainted like their kin
Which are colored like man's consequences.
They mark the month of May
So Man creates;
Sometimes with copper
Something that once burnished
Should shine in the parting light.
Now old and untended,
It appears a gangrenous arm.
Pennies are turned to their intended color.
These works of pride, greed, and use
Impart a gleam no more
Than insidious moss and lichen
Which pull down wall and mountian alike
It is the color of orbs
Insignificant and magnificent;
A source of all and an observer.
Scientists that study it know
That the sun's primary shade is green.
Everything born unto it follows.
