Dreamer
Fresh new feeling, a misty dawn breaks
darkness of night
As birds begin a new song
warmth arises from earth
Peace begins as the new season commences
A new beginning, life wakes to answer
Dreamer, Awake!
For if all were peaceful, no new experience
would be possible
For peace is naught but blissful stagnation
Therefore, abide in change
for there in lies truth
When change comes - as it will
answer the call
For only in living life to full measure
is true happiness achieved...

=================================================
The Trees Are Waiting
A grove of oak sits waiting
A man comes, singing a song to the oaks
He seeks knowledge of freer times
When all men sang to the trees
The trees speak, impressed by his commitment
But he doesn't know the language
The trees teach, but he doesn't understand
He leaves disappointed
The trees fall silent, waiting...
