Woodlands

Prisms of light filter through morning's dew

Welcomes the birth of a day not pass

Beginnings of the early dance

Awaken to the fresh, crisp breath

Of life and living, existing scents

Beneath the thicket of green velvet shroud

Bear and cubs, fox and deer

Silent, soften steps they search

Twigs and berries, fish and vermin

Sustain and fill their nighttime fast

Fingers of light warm their path

Gives sight to their custom rounds

Home untouch by man and time

Ancient repose without fear and strife

Eternal comfort, peace and rest
