You and me in an emerald green forest
Glimpses of the sun through flickering foliage

Tangled vines and twigs,
Fallen trunks and leaves 
Silence and serenity, 
Of hushed sounds and still voices, 
What peace, uncompared .... 
What joy undiscerned, 
Inexplicable happiness disclosed. 

You and me, amidst the greens 
Of this emerald forest 

Purple passions of wildflowers 
The intricate silver of the spider's kingdom 
And the deep smell of earth 
Holding it all together 
Founded upon the sanctuary of life 
This emerald green forest

You and me 
Wandering free 
Underneath the shade of the green canopy, 
Like multitudes of hands reaching high 
Swaying by the breeze as they grew past the sky 

In constant supplication of sun and rain 
Where life abounds and life reign 
Innocent laughter stretches from the heart 

As eyes deepen their gaze 
And know not how to part

This emerald green forest 
Interwining, interwoven in our hearts 
Our life... our breath...
