I awoke in a forest from a vision
where the light is deeply hidden
upon the path a white haired man is seen smiling
he says... c'mon lets go into the forest
I say... but I need my shoes to be rolling
he says... you won't need them where we're going
so barefoot and free, we stroll up this eden sea
it gently rose up toward a clear stream
parallel to changing scenes of green
slow as the pine needles crunch underfoot
I smelled every breath where anticipation stood
vivid and closing in around my view
the man faded as the trees surround me
they join hands to become one circle all around
where the stream bubbles up like the earth giving birth
my joy is exclaimed as I look up above inside the hollow
to see glowing light balls swirling like perfect doves
the spring is being born from the center of a tree
where I stand all amazed in the mist of the free
so overcome with joy I play in the water
the moss on the banks soft as feather pillows
astounding sights change my frame to find
where is the man who drew me into this time
I jump out of the hollow to see him aglow
he smiles like a pure sun morning on snow
I ask him just what is this place I see from the night
he exclaims with incredible clarity...this is the tree of life!
I turn around nimbus to see just how tall
this tree grew to the highest of even higher walls
I fell down to faint as it was too beautiful a sight
I awoke in my bedroom wiping my shocked eyes
