The color of forest green
February 3, 2022
It comes from beauty, but also disgust
Contrasting feelings
Broken trust
Climbing mountains, a daring mission
Fed by rain
A major ignition
Oh how easy it is to burn
The vast space it takes
But it gives life in turn
Providing shelter and care

This poem gives ideas about the beauty but also the destruction that I sense with the color green. The fact it's the color of nature and life, but also the fact that life can always be killed if it isn't taken care of correctly. Plants trust us to take care of them and even in some cases leave them be but we tend to destroy things that are beautiful, losing nature's trust.
