Verdant Poultice

                                                                   

In the quiet and stillness music swirling around

There my healing found

Gratitude for the simple things

My soul learning a new song to sing

Vivid scene; earthly plants gathered in heavenly bouquet

Verdant poultice upon my heart, hand overlaid

Shackles and anxious bondage breaking

No Giving or taking

Just receiving in this moment, this day

Truth and regeneration through green pathway

The Latin root word ver means “truth” or “true.”

Verde= green in Spanish

Verdad = Truth

Verdant =Lush , green full of growth

 Green symbolizes the breaking of shackles, freedom from bondage. It is the color of fertility. In the Christian context, it represents bountifulness, hope and the victory of life over death. It is one of the colors associated with Christmas, and the long season of the Trinity in summer.
