Northern Marsh Orchid

Past stone circle in a marsh or by a dune
In the swamp near lagoon
In the morning covered by dew color of tears of the moon
Sending prayers to Neptune 

There is northern march orchid
That sings an old ballad
The ballad as dew falls on spider web is chanted
By the spellbindingly beautiful orchid

The story is repeated by butterfly
With wings black like the midnight sky
With purple embellishment that across the wings will lie
It sings this ballad to every flower and tree it passes by

The story is of divine majesty
About the souls’ immortality
About master of destiny
One not named even in clairvoyance therefore one truly free
