A Home in the Woods

I walked in the quiet woods

Where very few ever roam

And there amongst the towering trees

I made my soul a home


The blue sky was my ceiling

The trees my pillars and walls

The leaves my living carpet

And the roots were my floor


The sun was my lamp in the day

The moon and stars by night

The running brook was my playmate

Its song filled me with delight


The birds in the air were my wind chimes

Singing when the day was clear

The ferns my stairs to wonders

Everywhere far and near


The wind was my sweet refresher

My story teller in disguise

The creatures my daily companions

Rising with me at sunrise


Yes, I walked in the woods one day

And a sweet home I did find

For though my body departed

I left my heart and soul behind

What a view. What a sky. I wish that I could fly up high And catch the clouds in my fist If I do, will they grant me a wish?
