Guardians of Time

As I wonder at the beauty of nature around me
And the moonlight it gleams through the canopy above
Enraptured I’m captured and taken aback
By the calming embrace of the forests I love
The roots of the trees so deep and so dark
Implanted in the ground, once the seedlings of time

The song of the leaves and the words of the bark
The whisper, come hither, that intrigues my troubled mind
The wolf of the hill keeps a watch in the dark
As the world lies in wait for the first glimpse of dawn
He tears at the earth and he howls on the wind
To the moon he so loves

And each night the valleys echo with his anguished cries
I’m carried away by the sound of the silence
With grace and beauty divine
My mind starts to wander of fantastic beasts
The vivid most fantasy trapped in a starry-eyed child
Mystery entwined in the tales of the woods
Spears shall be shaken, wind time, wolf time

Ere the moon falls
Brother kill brother for purpose divine
Ere the world falls
How fickle the will and the want of man
The dark clouds of greed that smother the dreams
Of the purest of hearts, with the best of intents
Yet our solace lies only in the embrace of trees
