I dwelt among the trees today
From sunrise through the night
All the while senses keen
Songbirds, breezes, streaming light
Wildwood pageant stirs my soul
Mourning dove coos her tune
Sun sinks behind horizon
Wind whistles 'neath the moon
I stand upon the mountain's edge
Across the valley sails a hum
Leaves roll their chant o'er the crests
My cheeks kissed by zephyr's strum
Lilies close their petal doors
Fireflies light their mating dance
Dogs bay their warning calls
Shooting stars draw their final glance
Night after night this story echoes
The same display as ages past
I stand in awe, majestic beauty
Witnessing eons, spinning so fast
