I long for green.
The longing of the upper-middle-class.
In iso, but not without resources. Working from home, and income not an issue.
As I ride my computer each day, this is my view.
It could be that nothing is wrong. It could be just another day, in wonderland.
I long for green.
At least there is a glimpse of sun through clouds.
At least the smog has disappeared.
I could be here alone in this metropolis.
A pure moment, when nobody has escaped to their rooftop for air, and a sense of freedom.
I long for green.

I love my green. If the temps would rise just another few degrees, it would be even greener. We’ve had a chilly, blustery April.
The longing comes through loud and clear. Excellent writing.

Hello Robert, well they are my own thoughts/words. Accidentally a poem? I just write stuff – out of my backside an Australian might say! 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting. Hope you enjoyed the words?
