i look down back at the cliffs
the grass behind me
waving like a sea of soft pale green
dancing in the wind's touch
lulling me still to believe
i hear the wind kiss the grass
the great forest surrounds me
muted shadows cool the ground
whispering secrets in the leaves
lulling me again to believe
i pass the great forest's edge
the tree stands waiting for me
the golden green leaves protect
calling me home to their warmth
knowing that i now believe.
