Pale Green Valentine

If I subtract my thinking
And circumvent my feeling
Is the product not some moss
Getting ready to bloom
Under a quaking aspen
Or a stand of cedars
I like to think we could
Have been on a bleak shore
Before the birds and animals
Descended ready to be us
But it's all still there
Our childhoods waiting to be rescued
That green we have transformed
Into enough innocence to go on
