The Green

Oh will you take me deeper into the wild?

There to awake the sleeper we left as a child

Dark as the silent waters, dark as the deep

Lost in the primal matter

Older than memory

Touched with the knowing

Something like holy

Waiting to to surface and breathe….

Oh will you take me higher into the light?

Call up the shining instant you first felt alive

There in the flash of wonder, there it begins

Air full of crashing thunder

Shocked with the knowing

Naked and trembling

Twist through the helix

Spin to the surface and breathe!

I hear the voice of the dreaming

I feel the pulse of the stone

And all shining and alive through the green

I touch the oceans of memory

I taste the core of the sun

And all shining and alive through the green

Feel in the teeming heartbeat of all living things

Even through steel and concrete the energy sings

Strong as the roaring daylight caught in the leaves

Long as the endless twilight

Brighter than broadway

Sparked by the living

Something like holy

Breaking the surface to breathe….

I hear the voice of the dreaming

I feel the pulse of the stone

And all shining and alive through the green

I touch the oceans of memory

I taste the core of the sun

And all shining and alive through the green
