The time has come <br />The Green Man said <br />A day of reckoning <br />To count the flowers <br />By the sea <br />And trace the foot steps <br />Of the Queen <br /> <br />The Prince has caused a horrid rift <br />The Queen she fled in fear <br />And Natures gifts were set a drift <br />Those gifts the Queen held dear <br /> <br />The Joker caught a bird in flight <br />And kept her captive for the night <br />He gave her such a fitful fright <br />Shattered by her earth bound plight <br />She flew away beyond his sight <br /> <br />Then midst the garden, fairies danced <br />They sang with joyful voices <br />But Mortal Man hast cast his fate <br />And as the spirits contemplate <br />His shallow rooted choices <br /> <br />The wind it howled <br />And dark clouds loomed <br />The Light above <br />Replaced by gloom <br />As He became a living tomb. <br /> <br />Now if you see a stranger <br />Cross your path one day <br />Listen for the Green Man <br />To what he has to say <br />Follow gentle wisdom <br />And you'll never go a stray <br /> <br />Be sure to plant your garden <br />With cabbages and kale. <br />In your best endeavors <br />Always will you sail. <br /> <br />Listen to the thunder <br />Of primordial hail. <br />As you count the crystals <br />You shall never fail <br /> <br />Through the waves of time <br />Though lost we have become <br />Onward shall we travel <br />And never will succumb <br /> <br />Though darkness closes in <br />Never shall we mourn <br />The moments of eternity <br />Are but the sacred circuitry <br />Unharmed within the storm. <br /> <br />One day our mortal eyes will see <br />And mortal ears discern <br />The angels will rejoice to know <br />That mortal man has learned. <br /> <br />Upon this earth there's none so dear <br />As messengers on high. <br />They cast out all our pain and fear <br />And let us know that God is near. <br />And on the wings of loving thoughts <br />Our Minds and Souls will fly.<br /><br />Lynne FincherSpringarden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/resplendent-realms/
