Forests


don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees
some things will send you soaring
some will bring you to your knees
some will feel like you've been taken
to the end of your wildest dreams
some will feel like you've been raped
but that's just the ways it seems
don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees

through the gardens of words you wander
you might not like everything you find
some things are not what they appear to be
some things are all in your mind
sometimes you won't know the difference
but judge and you will be condemned
to live by the law of your judgment
and crutch on to what you depend
or beg within what you pretend
or crumble... under fear of the end

see the light through the trees
see the birds and the bees
do you wonder what you miss
worried if you are supposed to?

see the rain pound the leaves
see the icicles fast freeze
do you think so much you miss
the world spinning round you?

don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees
sometimes they open to welcome you
sometimes they treat you like you're a disease
there are soft mossy pillows for comfort
there are fires that burn everything
you are part of it all and you're so small
sometimes you can hear something sing
don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees

where fuck you can mean I love you
where love can burn you to death
where nothing is below or above you
where there is room for just one more breath
get real in the moment you feel it
cast off fear and all the pre-thought
there is more to learn out there
that you can be taught

gardens of words
waiting to be heard
oceans and forests
rivers and stars
the light and the dark
the dove and the shark
blessing and curse
growing a universe

don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees
don't let the forests fool you
they are much more than trees
