THE GREEN MAN

 

Step into the forest, warm and bright,
Drink from the cup of golden light,
And deep within you, your instincts will glow,
Whilst through your body, the sweet winds will blow.
Look up to my wild and mottled face,
Where foliage and flowers softly enlace.”

…I wonder, to me, now, what will befall?
As I stand here alone, I, one so small,
But I hear your words, as the great boughs sway-    
Then, in your emerald arms I gently lay.
Shafts of sun flood through new lime leaves,
Which shimmer and dance as the treetop heaves
And the air is dense with blossom’s scent,
All beings living are quiet and content.
Moved and moulded by this mysterious hold,
I am taken and enlightened by an energy of old.
Its music drifts sweetly, through a pale haze of blue,
And its notes are a calling for the chosen few…

The wonder of the forest is an untamed dream,
And nature has taken you into its realm.
You are free now from the world you know,
Feel me as the very seasons grow.
Now, you can fly into a world serene,
Never lose touch with my spirit of green!
