The flowers in the forest are fading
But the shadows of summer remain
Breathe in the essence of winter
And the scent of the dying leaves
And wish for new birth.
The trees stand in a million colours of fire
The Earth moves on
As their life escapes to the sky
Prayer can not be learned
From any number of books or prophets
Only nature can teach you worship.
Destruction and creation
Wind together like lovers.
And the ashes of the old
Pave the way for the new.
The flowers in the forest are fading
But the flames promise their return.
