Far Away From Home

I can’t go away from here- This forest that extends To the horizon its lovely green; Here I can walk with natures Bounty for miles and miles That, in cities I have never seen; Buds burst at the dawn And spray fragrance from Tree tops to bed of raw leaves Thick fronds brush aside Annoying creepers that hold Flies and moths like giant hives The blue dives to meet The green far away to where Sight can’t travel in the gloaming Liquid diamonds get crushed Under my feet as I come out to Watch the sea waving and foaming I lay on the wet sands And hear the sounds of waves Beating against high rocks and recede A lone star appears silently Atop the undulating hill before Starting its march with its doting creed Sweet ecstasy grips me As I watch under the veil of cloud The moon feeling shy as virgin lass The owl gives a hoot aloud When a meteor rushes down And the earth dazzles with the flash In the vast theatre of His Living and nonliving as casts Every moment a drama is being played I won’t like to miss them Wish to remain forever there With a dark screen above as my shed
