Let’s go to evergreen waters

Where enchantment resides

Amidst the wise things, the peaceful things

Nature’s mystery provides

Behind the veil of silence

Where the whisper waters speak

Of the mystery and the beauty

Of shallow stone creek

 

Free from the cold of a winter’s day

Songbirds sing sweetly above in the trees

Catching the sun from far and away

Old friends gather, in the soft summer breeze

 

Once a free spirit

Dancing in the wind

Now a restful soul

A lofty wisdom within

 

So many a season

Many a life have lived

Elder of the forest

Giving all there was to give

 

Now a final gift of sunlight

The never ending trust

To honor these living memories

And gather your dust

 

Deep in the forest

Where stars shine so bright

Not far from the embers

That glow in the night

 

By the sacred fire

We gather to learn

What fools never fathom

The wisest will yearn

 

But speak not a word

For words would not do

The earth beckons softly

This silence is true

 

 

A quiet walk among the trees

Between the shadows a welcome sight

Of silent fields and summer breeze

In the forest deep of dancing light

 

Sitting by the fire, it’s nightfall in the woods

Drinking in the moonshine, imbibing nature’s goods

Elusive are these moments, in the gentle evening breeze

Just sitting by the fire, in the forest for the trees

 

Daylight sparkles across the lake

Windswept waters gather the sun

Above the treetops the give and take

Of natures rhythm’s, a new day’s begun
