Green Dream

A Poem

VW Campervan Green is a piece of digital artwork by American artist Richard Herron

her campervan was painted green

bought it during covid 19

great recession imminent, she took to the road

in search of tranquillity

gas stations, motels, diners

deserts, lakes, mountains

emerald coastlines

forest pines

increasingly in rear view

radio played Lou Reed, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac

she read Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Kerouac

Haruki the cat in the passenger seat

her campervan was painted green

had photographs of where she’d been

and reminders of those she loved back home

nomads she’d happened to meet

night-swimming with Jonny and Róisín

campfires under desert stars

sharing dreams, songs, secrets, stories

harmonica playing, tarot reads

sage burns

and cactus blooms

the magenta - coral sunrise looms

her campervan was painted green

some say the colour of money

but who needs that

when you have harmony and peace
