Lost in the Winding Woods
Nature is a labyrinth with a billion centers
Be like a ghost and wander that world
Where you can feel the trees breath free
Behold your host: the wild and pure woods
Where you may put worries to sleep
Walk the ancient and wide winding ways
Where beauty to the surface seeps
Get yourself lost among the willows
Where you will forget how to weep
Caress the moss, taste the fresher winds
And listen to the crickets cheep
Forget your self and reject your wants
Clean memories you now shall keep
Of a billion spiraling worlds
Labyrinthine wonders run deep!
Return to work against senseless waste
Now wielding a peace that is green
Reject the cost, of poisoned waters
And Earth killed by greed beyond need
