This Infernal Maze

Every where you turn, the child inside, wants to learn, in this maze of fern The green has once been... ..you Only to look above, see the love Above the green Step around, seek the sound This joyous sound is what you seek What can be found, not for the meek Hear the nightingale deep in the dark, rather than the wail Leave the fern and dont return Seek people of your kind Together you will flock, side by side, you won't mind For you are the rock The path straight and true This maze of fern, how it does twist and turn, but how you learn and you know it too Good draws you in and so it should The battle of fern and childhood, all this to learn, in this maze of fern Lift your eyes, stop your cries You are this teen stuck in the green Maze of fern of which you must not return Now you are all grown The ferns you have sown Are they straight and true? Or do they twist and turn? This maze of fern which you must not return The people of a kind are what you must find This you must discern, in the maze of the fern Start to flock, for you, are the rock Deep in maze of fern , to your starting place It's easy to return look above, see your true face, see the love Lift your eyes from this maze Look to the skies, look for new ways Seek only the wise, who flock, for you can be the rock Far from this maze of fern of which your childhood wants to learn and dont return
