dryad

you're happy when you're with trees
you understand trees better
you can be inside a tree
it's like greenness underwater

you understand life best
when you're with trees
you're like them
rising from roots
stretching to the sky
always craving the light

you feel drawn to a green dress
you've got an olive sweater
but you tell yourself to vary
express yourself freely

you'll be stronger
if you also look to the red of the mountains
you'll be stronger
if you also look to the blue of the sea
you'll be greener
