Green

Anywhere that green can grow
It sends its roots to make a stand.
It’s open to the darker land
Where roots grasp earth and do not show
While leaves enjoy the sun’s warm flow.

Red and other colors spill
Their envy on green's living will.
Love is what the faithful do.
Repenting helps the world renew -
Remove the rot, make room and fill.

1. Beautifully expressed! I like the format of 2 cinquains with that rhyme scheme, as well as the association of red with envy, in direct opposition to green, which is usually associated with envy.
