The Emerald

Light reflects
Off of the emerald
To guide me
Lotus of blue
In a warm sea of red

Glitter green
With ripe plants
To feed me
Pull off petals
Of sage and deep green

Salty air
Erodes not the emerald
To breathe life
Into hopeless eyes
On a wet forest ground

Moss grows
On the rocks
And on my body
Emerald green
And dripping with life

Life reflects
Off of the emerald
To guide me
To air I can breathe
In a suffocating expanse
