Land of the Trees

You are invited to see

The oak in all it’s glory

The maple at it’s kindest,

And be part of their story.

Listen to to their tales,

and songs of the wind and sky.

Learn the stories of the Earth,

You can see them if you try.

Imagine the rolling hills

And forests that used to stand.

Close your eyes, breathe in fresh air,

Bring your heart to this other land.

Mountains piercing bluest mass,

Sky unstreaked by planes.

Winds chasing through the clouds

Crying joyful crystal rains.

Willow trees draping, waterfalls gaping,

Dance to the Earth’s heartbeat.

Sunshine gracing the mountain tops,

Running rivers at their feet.

Pristine water across the world,

Lively marble peaceful yet untamed.

Needs fulfilled, enough to share,

Without greedy games.

Roof of trees above your head,

Uncut grass between your toes.

Singing larks and sparrows singing

Words only they know.

Seabirds across the waters,

Waves named eternity.

A smiling man on the moon

And stars of infinity.

Countless shades of green,

Dancing wind over seas.

Open your eyes and take a stand

For the land of the trees.
