A Journey Of Self-Expression  

Here in my darkened forest, a world created by me
I know every line, every curve, every flower, and every tree
This is my world, it's Eden before Adam was born
It's my quiet place at times when I need to be alone

To clear my mind petal by petal, stroke after stroke
The natural lines in it's design and my mind spoke
Shadowed, yes, adds to this menage of beauty and mystery
But just how much confidence can I place in a flower or a tree

I've confided in both of them under a silent moon light
The flowers and the tree contrast and begins to fight
Under a hunter's moon I experience a release to the sublime
The entire universe is broken down to binary, curves, and lines

An owl and a rabbit took pity on me, and taught me their ways
The owl took me on a flight of knowledge even above the god's heads
The rabbit dug a hole and took me underground telling me the secrets of the dead
The universe started talking to me and I listened to what it said

It said the darkness balances out the light and is so full of life
The height balances out the depths, dividing pleasure and strife
Gaze into the shadows, at a menage of emotions and existence transformed
The clover and petals reflecting the moonlight teaching humanity to conform

Poles fencing us in, nobody notices the snake in the grass
Borders built within borders, treaties and straight lines never last
But there's the universe again offering peace in a tree's hulking figure
The good and the bad, the light and the darkness are forever being reconfigured
