Green Star

If the Sun were not green

Would Earth be blanketed in verdant shades and sheen?

If Sun were not green

Would our sky be blue

And stain the Oceans in similar hue?

This miracle of malachite and jades,

cobalts, indigo and ultramarine shades,

pirouettes in Sama* at a dizzying pace**

In zikr on an Eternal course,

A tiny green Star - its Supreme Source.
