In the daylight dreaming

Of this mystical world

At times there is rest

In antediluvian time

Amid the greenwoods

Among the forest people

And ancient towering giants

Where birds melodious

Chorus heralds the dawn

Spring energies with

Clear fresh air

Mossed cups of dew

In fern frocked paths

Asleep in the dream of

This place is where

The parking lot was built

The road was put through

The factory was modeled

After human sweat spent

Its day of gloom

Pity the human condition

That has no time for

Mystical forest of Life

"In the wilderness

Is the preservation

Of the world"...

Have we forgot that

Did we get it yet

Are we so lost

That we have not

Touched our mother

the earth

and slept in her arms
