Dancing In a Glen Far Away and Dark
Dancing In A Glen Far Away And Dark
I trekked into the big forest deep
far back into a darkened glen,
among the black trees standing tall;
a lone cluster of flowers grew,
like a small army of bright little men.
As pretty as the clouds far above
colorful petals blew in the sprightly wind,
a glow cast upon dark and lonely trees;
dancing in unison with leaves overhead
each sang a melody of Nature's love.
Old trees took on a far different hue
as afternoon rays the flowers reflect,
colors raced about in the scene;
even the birds watched with great awe
when each gust sent a wave overdue.
Many years later that scene reappeared
a movie that played when I was blue,
dancing in a glen far away and dark;
symphony of flowers decorating old trees
into my mind Mother Nature's art was seared.
