Magical Forest

In magical forest spring is in the air After long winter sun has finally answered inhabitants’ prayer Bear came out of his lair Wolf as always is chasing a hare Soon in the old orchid behind the forest will grow apples and pear With his children story of magical forest farmer will share He tells them that of time when into deep eyes of forest phantom he would stare He tells them how the phantom to merry the spring would declare Love for mysterious phantom the spring would share But she knew for the forest inhabitants it would be unhappy affair For this union sun would impair And during spring no flowers orchid trees would bear Spring was a lady with long flowing hair Deep eyes beautiful soul piercing and rare She was lovely and fair And to imprison her spirit phantom would not dare With sun as a father spring three children would bare Daughter rain brothers growth and wind were in her care Rain and growth where good well positioned pair But wind with his wondering nature could not settle anywhere His parents would despair Something that phantom would become aware Maybe winds place is to travel phantom would declare Spreading seeds and good will everywhere But what is the place of winds’ soul said spring it can’t be just anywhere Rain and growth have their spirits with us but wind is everywhere and no where He never stays long in one place he is motion of air I have an idea said the phantom which I wish to share Wind could be your concessionaire Winds soul can be high end abstract dimension rather than doctrinaire He can be metaphor, riddle, and fundamental question, philosophy to compare Beyond expanse and vice perfect in his own lair That is what would keep magical forest magic phantom would declare And at the top of that magic would be wind’s questionnaire Like ballad whispered by bird in midair Like wonderful story old farmer with his children would share
