Rainforest Song

Rainforest Song

Forest,my mother,feed me your fruit.
Forest,my father,trace me my root.
Forest,my shelter,spread me your shade,
As I walk i n the glow of our green forest glade.

Forest of whispers and intricate ways,
Forest of spirts that slip through your maze,
Forest of mystery,subtle and deep,
You glide like a snake through my waking
      and sleep.

Forest,the home of my eye and my hand,
Forest,the meaning i understand,
Forest,the ground where I place my tread,
Where I breath my being and pillow my head,

Forest,the world I depend upon,
Where will i walk when my forest has gone?
