Leafy Mysteries

And these leafy mysteries And the silence of the eve And in the shady tree's I swing & In the dappled orchards heat Where I lie & wait Wait for the breeze To carry me To a place I can lose myself No time just somewhere else With a face I can recognise -I forget sometimes That's always been here And all these leafy mysteries & The changing of the seas & All the secrets of the tide Just open up the world I find- So small to me When there's so much to see – So much to be – Day up & the grasses hiss Get up! Like sweet lips they kiss See now that you're part of it I forget sometimes That's always been here And these leafy mysteries Have always been & always will & In the shady trees I swing & In the dappled orchard's heat -Where I lie & wait Wait for the breeze To hunger me- Wait for the trees To breathe in to me
