Emerald

It's something they don't understand,
This infinite land of wonder that you hold
In the palm of your hand.

Could I dare to be so bold
As to enter your world of emerald skies?
Oh, I've been told and told

By so many that it would be unwise –
But in your eyes I see a harmony,
Willing me in: you mesmerise.

Could I dare to be so frail as to envy
Your bejewelled world?
In it I find such life, such euphony.

It sets my mind into such a whirl –
And I feel a renewal
As my fresh emotions unfurl.

It's something they don't understand – this emerald jewel.
