Inhale forests living essence
breathe a million years
scents, secrets, and silence
light dancing in zig zag strobe ballet
timeless crafted shapes
perfect shaded colours
life hidden
ghost like to unaccustomed eyes
abundant, mysterious, and complex
symphonies in green shaded key
where mankind’s footsteps were known
amongst this cool moist biodiversity
woven timeless world
life force and fertility
home to the photosynthetic magician
a humid and heavy atmosphere
soil, plant, and animal
free and thriving
peace and tranquillity
no time, no cages
solitude in its founding form
unruined by careless hands
or thoughtless greed
pure and wonderful
my privilege to be here
above the penetrating roots
below a canopy of shade
whatever conscience resides within us
never let this garden die
let descendants wonder too
