The Forest Crown

Beyond the echoes of time untold
Where silver rivers weave through gold
A child was born where no one knew
Wrapped in leaves and morning dew
The wind became his lullaby
The stars would paint his name in light
And though no human called him kin
The forest pulled his spirit in

Roots entwined around his soul
Turning flesh to ancient lore
A whispered name the willows spoke
A fate that only shadows know

Crowned by ivy, veiled in moss
A king of green, no throne, no loss
The trees would bow, the rivers sing
A human child, a forest king
No blade, no war, no mortal scar
Just harmony beneath the stars

The seasons danced upon his skin
The dawn would wake, the dusk would grin
The creatures whispered, soft and low
A symphony of roots below
No hunger clawed, no thirst remained
For earth and sky had known his name
And when he spoke, the oak would bend
A boy, a myth, a tale to send

Feathers wove his cloak of night
Moonlight traced his path in white
With every step, the world would sigh
A breath, a song, a lullaby

Crowned by ivy, veiled in moss
A king of green, no throne, no loss
The trees would bow, the rivers sing
A human child, a forest king
No blade, no war, no mortal scar
Just harmony beneath the stars

But time moves slow, yet never stays
A thousand suns will fade away
The voices called, the roots did climb
To pull him past the threads of time
Now every shadow in the trees
Every whisper in the leaves
Carries echoes of his name
A ghost of green, yet still the same

Crowned by ivy, veiled in moss
Neither found nor ever lost
A legend sung by stone and stream
A soul reborn in every dream
No blade, no war, no mortal scar
Just harmony beneath the stars

And if you listen, soft and true
Among the branches kissed by blue
You'll hear his laughter, light and free
The king of green, eternally
