Lost in the Winding Woods

Nature is a labyrinth with a billion centers

Be like a ghost and wander that world

Where you can feel the trees breath free

Behold your host: the wild and pure woods

Where you may put worries to sleep

Walk the ancient and wide winding ways

Where beauty to the surface seeps

Get yourself lost among the willows

Where you will forget how to weep

Caress the moss, taste the fresher winds

And listen to the crickets cheep

Forget your self and reject your wants

Clean memories you now shall keep

Of a billion spiraling worlds

Labyrinthine wonders run deep!

Return to work against senseless waste

Now wielding a peace that is green

Reject the cost, of poisoned waters

And Earth killed by greed beyond need

Trying to make real art the best I can, never Ai!
