The green of my land

 

The green of my land

 

I have a palette

of colors from my land:

Forest green, chestnut green, pine green

Hidden

with stone houses

and red tiles

From here I see

a village against a green backdrop.

Spring green, apple green, grass green

and a wide river

gliding

majestic and opulent

among mountains

of green slopes.

Moss green, ivy green, hope green

Playful green

running everywhere.

Almond green, mint green, the green of some eyes

And if you think there's any green

missing from me,

it's because the green of my land

hides like a child

to greet you

with the joy of surprise

when you meet

in my green Galicia.
