Forest could keep secrets
Forest could keep secrets
Forest tune in every day
to water sound and bird sound,
Forest letting her hair down
to the teeming creeping of her
forest-ground.
But Forest don't broadcast her
business
no Forest cover her business down
from sky and fast-eye sun,
and darkness wrap her like a gown,
Forest is a bad dream woman.
Forest dreaming about mountain
and when earth was young,
Forest dreaming of the caress of gold
Forest rootsing with mysterious
Eldorado.
and when howler monkey
wake her up with howl,
Forest just stretch and stir
to a new day of sound.
But coming back to secrets
Forest could keep secrets
Forest could keep secrets
And we must keep Forest.
