There is a deep rolling green at the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Base surrounding a small, clear lake, where<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you tilt your head to listen to the ground, you can see<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How the waters make a still reflection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the perfect circle of leaves to each tree<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lake is fed by streams of thawed lightning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming down from the grey clouds that are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gold-wood upper borders of this world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder if there is a peak<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The greens meld together on the mountain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsure whether to be trees or grass or moss<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is a gentle slope to it all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One to get closer to, to walk and rest at one\u2019s own pace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And maybe you will cross that rainy border of the world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into some vast sky, blue and shining<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But me, I am content here at the base<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapped in green reflections and that thought<\/p>\n\n\n\n
