I'm green

I'm green—not only
from inexperience:
not only from bright envy,
but from promise.
I'm lawless, a growth
begun too soon, in fits
and starts, fresh shoots
and kneeling detritus.
Unlimit this—
—juvenille-genuine
joy-swell, well within
my secret garden — golden grove
where swirls the aquifer
and sings the ebbing ember—
—aspiration.
Against me grows the wild;
encroaching, ever-swift,
the sinister within me bounds
green chaos with oak fence
'round where I sit.
Immortal seat — vine-woven —
jungled haven — soul replete:
lotus primordial, diadem
and diamond column,
flown within —
—on gemmed aerie.
Rooted still, I soar;
I am stalk with druid wings.
I'm green—not only
from long youth,
but ancient moss:
whose tendrils smooth
upon my vessel work.
My urn and tablet,
wooden skin — harsh gauntlet
become soft, and ever mend:
for I am green with leaves
unfurled by new wind.

Gaah! You beat me to it. I'm writing a more serious reply (in between searching the internet for pandemic advice) and was going to put the vid at the end.
