about
A unique and engaging musical journey with beautifully worded spoken word. A journey into a sacred grove, honoring the ancient trees of the enchanted forest. A guided tree meditation, - a homage to nature. "Branches" draws you in as it progresses and you eventually become part of the forest until it releases you.
lyrics
Soaring crowns of foliage,
Canopies of emerald,
Wings on distant timbers.
Tell me:
"What are the secrets of your trails?"
Silently you bow your branches,
Drawing symbols in the air.
And the hushed observer to your insights,
Stumbles forward on its way.
Filled with ancient wisdom,
Arms a-waft at every whisk.
Guided by your sweet embrace,
Voids of idle anguish fade.
It turns quiet,
A whispered stirring gently stirs the air.
I see heavy drops that linger,
at the petals tender fringe.
Canopies of emerald,
Wings on distant timbers.
Tell me:
"What are the secrets of your trails?"
Silently you bow your branches,
Drawing symbols in the air.
And the hushed observer to your insights,
Stumbles forward on its way.
Filled with ancient wisdom,
Arms a-waft at every whisk.
Guided by your sweet embrace,
Voids of idle anguish fade.
It turns quiet,
A whispered stirring gently stirs the air.
I see heavy drops that linger,
at the petals tender fringe.
