The Hills of North Georgia
Shades of green
The sun’s refreshing fire
Heating up
The stormy skies of summer
Make the air
Thick with nurturing rain and
Thick with memories I don’t want
Can I find in these forests
More than the shades of greed and envy
Can I find the colors
of hope and growth?

Such great imagery.
